To  the  Parents  and  Friends,  and,  in 
Honor  of  Those  Brave  and  Noble  Men 
of  the  119th  Infantry,  of  Whom  it  Can 
Truly  be  Said  That  They  Performed  Their 
Duty  Honorably  and  Gloriously. 


This  History  of  the  119th  Infantry,  60th  Brigade,  30th 
Division,  U.  S.  A.,  was  compiled  by  Captain  C.  B.  Conway, 
of  Danville,  Va.,  and  Lieutenant  George  A.  Shuford,  of  Ashe- 
ville,  N.  C.  It  was  their  effort  to  write  only  of  Facts,  that 
the  records  of  the  deeds  of  true  and  brave  men  may  be  given. 
To  them  is  due  the  thanks  and  appreciation  of  the  officers 
and  men  of  the  Regiment. 

Due  to  the  loss  of  the  list  of  the  officers  and  the  fact 
that  a  full  and  complete  list  cannot  be  published,  the  names 
of  officers  are  not  made  a  part  of  this  record. 

It  is  fitting  to  call  attention  to  Major  John  Hall  Man- 
ning, who  as  Operations  Officer,  rendered  most  excellent 
service;  Major  William  S.  Privott,  Major  Graham  K. 
Hobbs,  Major  Robert  S.  Lamb  and  Captain  Otho  Robinson, 
who  as  Battalion  Commanders,  showed  courage  and  ability 
of  marked  degree  in  fighting  and  caring  for  their  commands 
in  battle  and  at  other  times.  Captain  Jere  Cooper,  as 
Regimental  Adjutant,  and  Captain  Fred  L.  Black,  as 
Supply  Officer,  were  most  efficient. — John  VanB.  Metts.

ORGANIZATION  OF  119th  INFANTRY. 

The  2nd  North  Carolina  Infantry  which  went  into  Fed- 
eral service  June  16th,  1916,  and  spent  six  months  on  the 
Mexican  Border  was  never  mustered  out  upon  its  return, 
but  proceeded  to  Camp  Sevier,  Greenville,  South  Carolina, 
August  1st,  1917.  When  the  30th  Division  was  organized 
about  Sept.  19th,  1917,  the  2nd  North  Carolina  Infantry 
was  designated  the  119th  Infantry  and  assigned  to  the  60th 
Brigade. 

A  short  while  afterwards,  the  59th  Depot  Brigade  at 
Camp  Sevier  was  broken  up  and  the  majority  of  the  person- 
nel of  A,  B,  C,  D,  H,  I,  K,  and  L  Companies  of  the  2nd 
Tennessee  Infantry  was  absorbed  into  the  119th  Infantry. 

Later  about  800  men  (North  Carolinians)  were  trans- 
ferred from  Camp  Jackson,  S.  C,  to  the  Regiment;  and 
about  700  men  were  transferred  from  Camp  Dodge  and 
Camp  Gordon  and  assigned  to  the  119th  Infantry. 

On  or  about  September  5th,  1917,  several  Reserve  Offi- 
cers were  transferred  from  Camp  Lee,  Va.,  to  the  30th  Divi- 
sion which  was  then  under  organization,  and  a  number  of 
these  attached  to  the  2nd  North  Carolina  Infantry.  Some 
of  these  officers  were  later  transferred  to  other  Divisions, 
but  those  remaining  in  the  Regiment  were  permanently  as- 
signed. 

The  personnel  of  the  119th  Infantry,  at  the  time  it  was 
ordered  to  France  was  as  follows: 

About  1,800  men  from  the  State  of  North  Carolina,  900 
from  Tennessee,  and  700  from  the  States  of  Illinois,  Indiana, 
Iowa,  Kentucky,  Minnesota,  Ohio  and  Wisconsin. 

TRAINING  OF  REGIMENT  AT  CAMP  SEVIER, 
SOUTH  CAROLINA. 

Upon  the  completion  of  organization  of  the  119th  In- 
fantry, the  Regiment  underwent  a  most  strenuous  training 
preparatory  to  its  final  training  received  in  France.  A 
system  of  trenches  was  constructed  by  the  105th  Engineers 
and  these  used  extensively  by  the  Regiment,  in  order  that 
the  men  might  become  somewhat  familiar  with  trench  life, 


2  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

and  their  tactical  use.  A  large  target  range  was  also  con- 
structed and  on  this  the  men  were  trained  in  the  art  of 
shooting  accurately  and  rapidly,  in  order  that  they  might 
protect  their  own  lines  in  time  to  come.     In  the  late  fall  of 

1917,  several  British  and  French  Instructors  were  attached 
to  the  30th  Division,  and  a  few  of  these  were  sent  to  the 
119th  Infantry,  who  gave  valuable  instructions  resulting 
from  their  own  personal  experience  in  France. 

These  instructors  were  specialists  in  their  work,  and  this 
Regiment  was  fortunate  in  getting  one  for  each  branch  of 
its  training,  namely:  musketry  and  bayonet,  gas  defense, 
grenades,  sniping  and  observation,  stokes  mortar,  one  pound- 
er, and  signal  work.     Beginning  at  about  the  1st  of  January, 

1918,  detachments  of  officers  from  the  30th  Division  were 
sent  each  month  to  the  School  of  Arms,  at  Fort  Sill,  Okla- 
homa, and  the  training  for  the  officers  continued  until  the 
Regiment  was  ready  to  depart  for  Overseas  service. 

Between  January  1st,  1918,  and  April  1st,  1918,  the 
Regimental  Commander  was  in  attendance  at  a  Brigade  and 
Field  Officers'  School  at  Fort  Sam  Houston,  Texas.  During 
his  absence  the  Regiment  was  commanded  by  Col.  F.  LeJ. 
Parker,  of  the  Regular  Army,  and  his  work  for  these  three 
months  greatly  assisted  in  the  building  of  the  backbone  of 
the  Regiment.  Many  competitive  drills  and  exercises  were 
held  during  this  time  which  assisted  in  establishing  a  keen 
spirit  of  competition,  which  the  Regiment  lived  up  to  in 
later  months. 

Upon  the  return  of  Col.  J.  Van  B.  Metts  from  the  School 
at  Fort  Sam  Houston,  Texas,  he  resumed  command  of  the 
Regiment  and  carried  on  the  training  until  the  30th  Division 
was  ordered  to  France. 

ADVANCE  SCHOOL  DETACHMENT. 

Previous  to  the  embarkation  of  the  119th  Infantry, 
orders  were  received  to  detail  twelve  (12)  officers  and  sev- 
eral non-commissioned  officers  to  be  sent  to  France  as  an 
Advance  School  Detachment.  The  following  officers  were 
detailed : 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  3 

Major  George  K.  Freeman, 
Major  Roane  Waring, 
Captain  Graham  K.  Hobbs, 
1st.  Lieut.  Charles  Pichetti, 
1st.  Lieut.  Frank  J.  Gilliam, 
1st.  Lieut.  Edward  L.  Graham, 
1st.  Lieut.  Chester  O.  Bell, 
1st.  Lieut.  George  A.  Shuford, 
2nd.  Lieut.  Holcomb  Rogers, 
2nd.  Lieut.  Hargrove  Bellamy, 
2nd.  Lieut.  Marion  R.  Wentz, 
2nd.  Lieut.  James  E.  Faison. 

This  Advance  School  Detachment,  under  the  command 
of  Major  George  K.  Freeman,  joined  the  general  detach- 
ment of  the  30th  Division,  which  left  Camp  Sevier,  April 
30th,  1918,  at  2:00  p.  m.,  on  a  special  train  of  the  Southern 
Railroad.  This  detachment  went  direct  to  Camp  Merritt, 
N.  J.,  via  Charlotte,  Washington,  Philadelphia,  and  Jersey 
City,  arriving  at  Camp  Merritt  about  mid-night  of  May 
1st,  1918.  While  at  this  camp  the  N.  C.  O.'s  were  equipped 
for  foreign  service.  On  the  morning  of  May  7th,  1918,  the 
detachment  boarded  a  train  which  carried  the  party  to 
Hoboken,  N.  J.,  where  it  filed  on  board  the  transport  George 
Washington,  a  converted  German  liner.  Shortly  after  noon 
on  May  8th,  1918,  this  liner  slipped  out  of  New  York  Harbor 
and  started  on  its  long  journey  to  France.  The  convoy  con- 
sisted of  three  (3)  converted  German  vessels,  the  George 
Washington,  the  America  and  the  DeKalb,  formerly  the 
Cruiser  Crown  Prince  Eitel  Frederich.  The  voyage  was 
uneventful  with  the  exception  of  one  day  spent  in  target 
practice.  About  7:30  a.  m.,  May  17th,  1918,  seven  (7) 
American  Submarine  Destroyers  joined  the  convoy  to  see 
it  safely  into  port.  On  the  last  day  out  at  sea  just  at  sun- 
rise a  submarine  was  sighted  off  the  starboard  side  of  the 
DeKalb.  It  at  once  submerged  without  firing.  At  11:30 
a.  m.,  May  18th,  1918,  the  George  Washington  dropped 
anchor  in  the  harbor  of  Brest,  France.  The  Advance  School 
Detachment  debarked   the   following  day,   and   marched   to 


4  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

the  Pantinzer  Barracks,  about  4  kilometers  from  Brest. 
On  May  23rd,  1918,  the  party  left  Brest  for  Langres  and 
arrived  there  May  25th,  1918.  The  entire  detachment  was 
here  separated  into  different  groups  and  commenced  special 
training  for  which  they  were  sent  over.  Some  officers  at- 
tended the  School  of  the  Line,  the  remainder  the  Specialist 
School.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  course  the  officers 
taking  the  Specialist  and  Line  courses  left  Langres  June 
24th,  1918,  and  rejoined  the  Regiment  which  was  stationed 
in  the  Racques  Area,  at  Louches,  on  June  27th,  1918. 
Major  George  K.  Freeman  and  Major  Roane  Waring  were 
transferred  from  the  School  of  the  Line  to  the  Staff  College 
before  the  completion  of  the  course.  These  two  officers 
were  not  reassigned  to  the  Regiment. 

EMBARKATION  OF  REGIMENT  FOR  OVER- 
SEAS SERVICE. 

Upon  leaving  the  Training  Camp  at  Sevier,  S.  C,  the 
Regiment  proceeded  by  special  trains  to  Camp  Merritt, 
N.  J.  Some  of  these  trains  moving  over  the  P.  &  N.  Rail- 
road to  Greenwood,  S.  C,  and  Seaboard  from  there  to  Rich- 
mond, Va.,  then  to  Washington,  Baltimore,  Philadelphia 
and  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  Other  trains  moving  over  Southern 
to  Charlotte,  Danville,  Richmond,  etc.  The  entire  Regi- 
ment was  assembled  at  Camp  Merritt,  N.  J.,  on  the  8th  of 
May,  1918,  and  remained  there  for  a  period  of  three  days, 
being  equipped  for  Over-Seas  Service.  While  there,  the 
organization  was  split  up  into  three  different  detachments; 
one  remaining  there,  one  ordered  to  Philadelphia,  and  the 
other  ordered  to  Boston. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  May  11th,  Regimental  Head- 
quarters, Headquarters  Company,  Machine  Gun  Company, 
Supply  Company,  and  Companies  A,  B,  and  C,  under  gen- 
eral command  of  Col.  J.  Van  B.  Metts.  Companies  A,  B, 
and  C,  of  the  1st  Battalion  and  Battalion  Headquarters, 
under  command  of  Captain  Otho  Robinson,  left  Camp 
Merritt  and  proceeded  by  rail  to  the  docks  at  Hoboken, 
N.  J.,  arriving  there  about  9:30  a.  m.     No  time  was  lost  in 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  5 

transferring  the  troops  to  a  large  steamer,  and  in  a  few 
minutes  landed  on  one  of  the  large  piers  at  New  York  used 
by  Troop  Transports.  The  detachment  embarked  the 
same  afternoon  about  4:30,  on  the  British  Steamship 
"Ascania",  owned  and  operated  by  the  Cunard  Line. 

The  2nd  Battalion,  consisting  of  Battalion  Headquar- 
ters, Companies  E,  F,  G,  and  H,  under  command  of  Captain 
Edgar  H.  Bain,  left  Camp  Merritt,  May  10th,  and  proceeded 
by  rail  to  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  arriving  on  the  morning  of  the 
11th.  From  the  train  the  troops  marched  immediately  to 
the  docks,  and  at  2:00  p.  m.,  embarked  on  the  British  Steam- 
ship "Haverford". 

The  third  detachment,  consisting  of  the  3rd  Battalion 
Headquarters,  Companies  D,  I,  K,  L,  and  M,  under  com- 
mand of  Major  William  S.  Privott,  left  Camp  Merritt,  May 
10th,  and  proceeded  by  rail  to  Boston,  Mass.,  arriving  there 
about  10:00  a.  m.,  the  11th,  and  embarked  that  afternoon 
on  the  British  Steamship  "Laomadon". 

VOYAGE. 

The  three  British  Transports,  "Ascania",  "Haverford" 
and  "Laomadon"  on  departure  from  their  respective 
ports  made  a  direct  sail  for  the  coast  of  Canada,  and  on 
Wednesday,  May  15th,  saw  each  other  in  the  Harbor  at 
Halifax,  Nova  Scotia. 

While  in  this  harbor  the  convoy  was  formed,  consisting 
of  these  three  Transports  and  nine  others.  On  the  after- 
noon of  May  16th,  the  convoy  sailed  for  England.  The 
"Ascania"  was  the  flag-ship,  and  carried  the  Commodore 
of  the  convoy — Lieut.  Commander  Underwood,  of  the 
British  Navy.  The  convoy  was  escorted  by  the  British 
Cruiser  "Cornwall". 

Between  the  17th  and  21st  the  ocean  was  rather  rough 
at  times  caused  by  heavy  wind,  but  on  the  morning  of  the 
22nd  it  was  very  calm,  everyone  was  feeling  better  and  in 
the  best  of  spirits. 

Friday,  May  24th,  the  convoy  reached  the  "danger 
zone",    and    at   this   time   numerous    "abandon    ship   drills" 


6  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

were  being  held.  At  daylight  of  the  25th  several  United 
States  Submarine  Destroyers  were  seen  chasing  all  around 
our  convoy,  and  remained  as  our  best  friends  until  the 
convoy  landed. 

About  11:30  p.  m.,  May  26th,  a  German  submarine  was 
sighted  within  very  close  range,  but  it  immediately  sub- 
merged and  was  not  seen  again.  The  crafty  Destroyers  were 
on  their  job  and  dropped  several  "depth  bombs"  at  the 
spot  where  the  submarine  had  been  seen.  No  disorder  or 
confusion  among  the  troops  was  caused  during  these  crucial 
moments. 

About  9:30  a.  m.,  May  27th,  1918,  the  convoy  filed 
through  the  Irish  Sea  and  in  a  few  minutes  docked  at  Liver- 
pool, England.  All  troops  remained  on  board  until  5:00 
o'clock  that  afternoon  when  the  Regiment  debarked,  and 
marched  a  short  distance  to  the  train  which  left  at  10:00 
p.  m.,  for  Dover,  England's  chief  Channel  Port  for  the  ex- 
portation of  troops.  The  train  passed  through  London 
about  midnight  and  arrived  at  Dover  about  8:00  o'clock  on 
the  morning  of  the  28th. 

Beginning  at  11 :00  a.  m.,  on  the  same  date,  the  Regiment 
moved  by  small  detachments  from  Dover,  England,  across 
the  English  Channel  to  Calais,  France,  and  by  the  afternoon 
of  May  29th  the  entire  Regiment  was  once  more  assembled 
in  camp,  located  about  one  and  one-half  kilometers  from 
Calais. 

The  Regiment  remained  in  this  camp  for  three  days 
being  equipped  with  gas  respirators  and  ammunition.  Here 
the  United  States  rifles  were  exchanged  for  British  rifles, 
as  the  30th  Division  had  been  designated  to  serve  with  the 
British. 

The  night  of  arrival  in  this  camp  the  Regiment  exper- 
ienced their  first  attack  by  the  enemy  in  the  form  of  an 
"air  raid".  In  spite  of  the  heaviness  and  nearness  of  the 
explosions,  and  the  whining  of  the  bomb  fragments,  the  be- 
havior of  the  troops  in  their  first  actual  contact  with  the 
enemy  was  most  excellent. 

May  31st  the  organization  moved  by  rail  to  Audrique, 


History  of  ugth  Infantry  7 

France,  detrained  there  and  marched  to  the  Racques  Area 
where  the  Regiment  was  billeted  in  the  following  towns: 

Regimental  Headquarters,  Headquarters  Company,  de- 
tachments of  Supply  Company  and  the  1st  Battalion  at 
Louches;  2nd  Battalion  and  detachment  of  Supply  Company 
at  Landretheun ;  3rd  Battalion  and  detachment  of  Supply  Com- 
pany at  Yeuse;  Machine  Gun  Company  at  Nordt  Ludlingham 
and  Supply  Company  at  Lostrat. 

TRAINING  PERIOD  OVER-SEAS. 

In  this  area  the  Regiment  underwent  a  most  intensive 
training  schedule.  Since  it  was  to  be  affiliated  with  the 
British,  their  methods,  the  development  of  four  years  of 
painstaking  study,  was  adopted.  The  39th  British  Divi- 
sion, which  was  associated  with  the  30th  (American)  Divi- 
sion arranged  to  give  assistance  in  training  in  an  advisory 
capacity,  by  the  attachment  of  British  officers  and  N.  C.  O.'s 
to  American  units,  and  by  the  maintenance  of  close  personal 
touch,  also  by  the  interchange  of  Staff  Officers  between  the 
Staffs  of  the  British  formation  and  the  corresponding  Staffs 
of  the  30th  Division.  The  119th  Infantry  was  very  fortunate 
in  receiving  a  cadre  of  instructors  from  the  9th  Black  Watch 
and  the  9th  and  10th  Gordon  Highlanders,  under  the  com- 
mand of  Brig.  Gen.  N.  S.  Hubbard,  118th  Infantry  Brigade 
(British)  and  under  the  direct  supervision  of  Col.  Cruick- 
shenk,  Lt.-Col.  Sworder,  Lt.-Col.  Lord  Gordon  and  Lt.-Col. 
Anderson.  The  training  was  divided  into  two  phases,  i.  e. : 
A  and  B.  While  in  this  area,  phase  A  was  mastered.  This 
training  consisted  of  36  hours  of  instruction  for  the  first 
week,  25  hours  for  the  second  week,  26  hours  for  the  third 
week,  and  20  hours  for  the  fourth  week.  Realizing  that 
every  minute  must  be  taken  advantage  of,  the  men  worked 
most  industriously,  with  a  spirit  at  which  our  Allies  marvelled. 
The  training  of  specialists  received  the  most  careful  atten- 
tion, as  did  the  training  of  the  Infantry  platoons.  It  was 
due,  in  a  great  way,  to  this  thorough  training  that  the  later 
phenomenal  success  of  the  Regiment  in  actual  battle  is 
attributed.  Time  was  also  given  to  March  Discipline  and 
Trench  Warfare. 


8  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

As  another  means  of  taking  advantage  of  the  experience 
gained  by  the  British,  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers 
were  sent  to  various  schools  to  acquire  technical  knowledge 
of  Automatic  Rifles,  Bayonet  Fighting,  Grenades,  Gas  De- 
fense, etc.  It  is  well  to  know  that  the  average  standard 
set  at  these  schools  by  the  119th  Infantry  officers  and 
N.  C.  O.'s  was  exceptionally  high.  Also,  officers  and  N. 
C.  O.'s  were  sent  to  the  School  Sector  directly  east  of  Ypres  for 
practical  experience  under  actual  battle  conditions  before 
receiving  the  responsibility  of  leading  their  men  under  enemy 
fire.  They  were  most  courteously  received  by  the  units 
of  the  49th  British  Division,  occupying  the  line  and  were 
given  valuable  information  and  instruction  while  there.  Some 
of  these  officers  and  N.  C.  O.'s  were  permitted  to  go  on 
patrol,  but  chiefly  they  acquainted  themselves  with  trench 
life  and  warfare. 

The  Machine  Gun  Company  with  the  Machine  Gun 
Companies  of  all  the  Regiments  in  the  Division,  were  as- 
sembled at  Nordt  Ludlingham,  where  they  were  instructed  in 
the  latest  methods  of  Machine  Gun  Warfare  which  the  British 
had  found  so  successful. 

While  in  this  area  authority  was  received  from  G.  H.  Q., 
for  the  enlargement  of  the  Regimental  Staff  by  the  allow- 
ance of  an  Operation  and  Intelligence  Officer.  To  fill  this 
very  important  office,  Captain,  now  Major  John  Hall  Man- 
ning, then  the  Regimental  Adjutant,  was  appointed.  Lieut. 
Jere  Cooper  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Captain  and  trans- 
ferred to  Regimental  Headquarters  as  Adjutant.  Captain 
Benjamin  West  on  June  4th  was  also  transferred  to  Regimen- 
tal Headquarters  as  Personnel  Adjutant.  Upon  the  com- 
pletion of  the  above  changes,  the  Regimental  Staff  consisted 
of: 

Col.  J.  Van  B.  Metts, 

Lieut. -Col.  Cyrus  M.  Faircloth, 

Capt.  John  Hall  Manning, 

Capt.  Benjamin  West, 

Capt.  Jere  Cooper, 

Capt.  Armstead  K.  Tayloe, 

Chaplain  John  M.  Robeson. 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  9 

The  119th  Infantry  Regiment  was  inspected  almost  im- 
mediately upon  its  arrival  in  this  area  by  Major  Gen.  Herbert 
Plummer,  Commander  of  the  2nd  British  Army.  A  week 
later  Field  Marshall  Sir  Douglas  Haig,  Commander  of  the 
British  Armies  in  France,  honored  this  Regiment  by  giving 
it  a  most  rigid  inspection.  Both  of  these  officers  expressed 
great  delight  in  the  progress  of  the  training  and  the  wonder- 
ful physique  of  the  men.  On  or  about  the  30th  day  of  June, 
Gen.  John  J.  Pershing,  Commander  in  Chief  of  the  Ameri- 
can Armies  in  France,  inspected  the  Regiment.  He  was 
pleased  with  the  fitness  of  the  troops  and  especially  the  high 
standard  of  the  personnel,  expressing  himself  that  he  had 
not  seen  a  better  body  of  men  in  the  American  Expeditionary 
Forces. 

About  the  15th  of  June,  information  was  received  that 
an  attack  by  the  Germans  was  anticipated  in  the  sector  im- 
mediately east  of  Cassel.  In  anticipation  of  this  plan  of 
attack  arrangements  were  perfected  whereby  the  30th  Divi- 
sion was  to  take  up  a  position  in  reserve,  west  of  Cassel. 
The  119th  Infantry  was  designated  to  be  the  Divisional 
Reserve  which,  as  expressed  to  the  Commanding  Officer  by 
Gen.  Faison,  was  a  very  important  position  in  the  scheme 
of  defense.  The  Regiment  was  preparing  for  this  move 
with  great  enthusiasm.  This  position,  however,  was  never 
occupied.  The  orders  were  unexpectedly  changed  and  this 
Regiment  with  the  other  units  of  the  Division,  on  the  2nd 
day  of  July,  1918,  proceeded  by  marching  to  the  Roozen- 
daal  and  Road  Camp  Areas,  near  Watou,  Belgium. 

The  Regiment  formed  on  the  Zaufques-Louches-Yeuse 
Road  with  the  head  of  the  column  at  the  road  intersection 
3A,  39,  British  Map  Hazebrouk,  at  9:45  a.  m.,  in  the  follow- 
ing order:  Headquarters  Company,  Detachment  Supply 
Company,  1st  Battalion,  3rd  Battalion,  and  2nd  Battalion. 
The  Sanitary  Detachments  accompanied  their  respective 
Battalions.  The  First  and  Second  Line  Transports  followed 
their  respective  Battalions  in  the  following  order:  Rolling 
Kitchens,  G.  S.  Wagons  (Ration),  G.  S.  Wagons  (Baggage), 
Water  Carts,  Limbers.  The  following  disposition  of  equip- 
ment was  made:     120  rounds  of  service  S.  A.  A.,  one  cooked 


10  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

meal  and  full  field  equipment,  including  two  blankets,  less 
overcoats,  which  were  carried  on  the  wagons,  were  carried 
by  each  man.  With  this  equipment  and  in  the  above  order 
the  119th  Infantry  marched  to  the  Foret  D'Eperlecques,  a 
distance  of  12  kilometers,  where  they  bivouaced  the  night 
of  July  2-3,  1918.  On  the  morning  of  July  3rd,  the  Regi- 
ment marched  to  Rubrouck,  forming  at  6:15  a.  m.,  on  the 
Watten-Welverdinghe-Voikermakhove-Herzeele  Road  in  the 
following  order:  Headquarters  Company,  Detachment  Sup- 
ply Company,  3rd  Battalion,  2nd  Battalion,  1st  Battalion, 
Sanitary  Troops  with  their  respective  Battalions,  where  it 
bivouacked  the  night  of  July  3-4,  1918,  in  a  pasture.  The 
distance  marched  was  about  the  same  as  on  the  day  before. 
On  July  4th,  1918,  contrary  to  expectations,  the  Regiment 
again  formed  on  the  Bollezeele-Rubrouck  Road  in  the  follow- 
ing order:  Headquarters  Company,  Detachment  Supply 
Company,  2nd  Battalion,  1st  Battalion  and  3rd  Battalion, 
with  Sanitary  Troops  with  their  respective  Battalions  at 
7:20  a.  m.,  and  marched  to  Herzeele,  where  it  bivouacked  for 
the  night  of  July  4-5,  1918.  Here  it  was  that  the  men  of 
this  Regiment  first  heard  distinctly  the  firing  of  guns  on  the 
famous  Flanders  front.  It  was  the  subject  of  much  dis- 
cussion especially  since  it  was  the  birthday  of  the  Inde- 
pendence of  America.  On  the  morning  of  July  5,  1918, 
at  6:00  a.  m.,  the  Regiment  formed  on  the  Herzeele- Watou 
Road,  to  march  to  the  Roosendall  and  Road  Camp  Areas 
in  the  order  of  march  as  of  the  first  day.  It  reached  its 
destination  shortly  after  noon  and  went  into  camp  two 
kilometers  southeast  of  Watou,  Belgium.  It  is  quite  inter- 
esting to  note  that  this  Regiment  was  the  first  American 
unit  to  enter  Belgium.  Regimental  Headquarters  and 
Headquarters  Company  were  located  at  Bayley  Camp,  1st 
Battalion  was  located  just  across  the  road,  2nd  Battalion 
at  Gabb  Camp,  3rd  Battalion  at  Chase  Camp,  and  the 
Machine  Gun  Company  in  a  pasture  only  a  short  distance 
away.  The  Supply  Company,  less  the  detachments  which 
were  attached  to  the  different  Battalions  formed  the  Sixtieth 
Brigade  Dump  and  was  located  at  Dragon  Camp. 

It  must  be  understood  that  the  Supply  Company  of  this 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  11 

Regiment  and  the  Supply  Company  of  the  120th  Infantry 
Regiment  were  consolidated  forming  the  Sixtieth  Brigade 
Dump,  each  Battalion  was  then  allotted  a  detachment  under 
the  command  of  a  Battalion  Supply  Officer.  It  was  the 
duty  of  the  Brigade  Dump  to  issue  rations  and  equipment 
for  a  Battalion  directly  to  the  respective  Battalion  Supply 
Officer,  who  in  turn  issued  the  same  directly  to  the  Com- 
pany of  their  Battalion.  Also  in  this  detachment  was  in- 
cluded a  Battalion  Transport  Officer  who  had  direct  charge 
of  the  Battalion  Transport.  The  feeding  of  the  men  in  the 
line  was  entirely  in  the  hands  of  these  two  officers,  for  as 
soon  as  the  Brigade  Dump  had  turned  over  the  food  to  the 
Battalion  Supply  Officer  he  was  relieved  of  further  responsi- 
bility. Then  the  Transport  Officer  after  the  rations  had  been 
prepared  for  consumption  collected  them  and  loaded  them 
on  the  transports,  carrying  it  forward  to  the  men  in  the 
trenches.  This  Regiment  was  fortunate  in  having  con- 
scientious and  fearless  officers  to  fill  these  important  posi- 
tions and  they  deserve  the  highest  praise  for  the  manner  in 
which  they  performed  their  duties.  This  method  of  supply 
was  continued  throughout  the  operations  of  the  Regiment. 

After  resting  up  from  the  four-day  march,  the  Regiment 
resumed  the  training  schedule  with  renewed  energy.  The 
front  line  at  its  closest  point  was  about  12  kilometers  dis- 
tance, consequently  the  firing  of  artillery  could  be  heard  at 
all  times,  and  even  the  bursting  of  shells,  for  on  several  oc- 
casions the  town  of  Watou,  where  Division  Headquarters 
was  located  was  shelled.  The  shells  passing  directly  over 
the  Camp.  Here  also  the  men  of  the  Regiment  became 
thoroughly  accustomed  to  enemy  air  raids.  Practically 
every  clear  night  there  were  numbers  of  German  planes 
overhead  bombing  important  cross-roads  and  camps.  The 
transports  carrying  rations  forward  to  the  men  in  the  line 
also  presented  a  favorite  target. 

It  was  while  stationed  in  this  area  that  Major  Gen. 
Pinny,  of  the  British  Army,  addressed  the  officers  and  non- 
commissioned officers  of  the  Regiment.  He  was  very  en- 
thusiastic on  the  condition  of  the  men,  especially  the  stand- 
ard of  morale,  which  was  extraordinarily  high.     There  was 


12  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

one  remark  in  his  speech  which  clearly  bespoke  the  condi- 
tions and  thinking  of  our  gallant  allies  before  our  arrival. 
Gen.  Pinny  said  in  substance:  "An  attack  by  the  enemy  is 
anticipated  and  in  all  probability  his  advance  will  be  on 
this  front.  It  is  my  sincere  hope  that  he  attacks  while  you 
are  here."     The  attack  never  materialized. 

To  better  understand  the  subsequent  work  of  the  Regi- 
ment it  is  here  necessary  to  explain  somewhat  in  detail  the 
former  training  which  was  conducted  under  the  heading  of 
Phase  B  training.  This  consisted  of  one  Battalion  at  a 
time  going  into  the  line  and  being  associated  with  the  British 
units  then  occupying  the  position  and  also  to  strengthen 
the  line  as  it  was  very  lightly  held.  The  command  and  the 
responsibility  for  this  sector  was  retained  by  the  British 
while  the  Americans  were  given  every  opportunity  to  ac- 
custom themselves  with  trench  life  and  conditions.  This 
method  of  training  was  to  continue  until  the  entire  outfit 
had  been  able  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity.  Phase 
B  training  was  commenced  in  the  Regiment  by  the  following 
order,  July  16,  1918:

History  of  119th  Infantry  15 

In  compliance  with  the  above  order  the  1st  Battalion 
under  command  of  Capt.  Otho  Robinson,  moved  to  the 
Blue  Line  (reserve  position  east  of  Poperinghe)  on  the  night 
of  July  15th,  1918.  Company  "A"  occupied  the  right  front 
and  right  support  with  two  (2)  platoons  in  the  front  line 
position  and  two  in  support.  Company  "C"  occupied  ex- 
actly the  same  relative  position  on  the  left.  Company  "D" 
was  held,  in  reserve.  On  the  night  of  July  16-17  the  Bat- 
talion moved  to  the  front  line  position  in  the  right  sub- 
sector  of  the  Canal  sector  in  the  Ypres  salient.  The  dis- 
position of  troops  in  the  sector  were  as  follows:  "A"  Com- 
pany occupied  the  front  line  in  conjunction  with  "C"  and 
"B"  Companies  of  the  Argyle  and  Southern  Highlanders 
with  their  right  resting  on  Kruisstraathock-Voormezeel 
Road.  To  the  right  of  "A"  Company  and  occupying  the  front 
line  "D"  Company  was  stationed  with  two  platoons  in  the 
front  line  and  two  in  close  support  with  the  Queens  Royal 
Rifles.  "C"  Company  occupied  support  positions,  "B" 
Company  received  orders  to  return  to  Louches,  France,  by 
rail  to  complete  its  course  on  the  target  range. 

On  the  same  night  the  2nd  Battalion  under  command  of 
Capt.  Graham  Hobbs,  took  over  the  position  formerly  oc- 
cupied by  the  1st  Battalion  in  the  Blue  Line. 

For  the  first  six  days  that  this  Battalion  was  in  the  line 
it  held  the  position  with  the  British,  first  by  having  one 
English  soldier  stationed  with  one  American.  After  con- 
fidence was  thus  gained  the  separate  units  were  grouped 
together  and  a  British  platoon  was  placed  on  either  side  of 
an  American  platoon.  On  the  23rd  day  of  July,  after  the 
Battalion  had  been  in  line  for  a  period  of  six  days  the  British 
withdrew  to  the  Yellow  Line  or  the  Regimental  Reserve 
Line  and  the  1st  Battalion  held  the  front  line  position  alone 
until  relieved  by  the  2nd  Battalion  on  the  night  of  July 
24-25,  1918. 

This  sector  was  known  as  a  quiet  one  and  especially 
suitable  for  the  instruction  of  new  troops  but  at  this  parti- 
cular time  it  was  quite  the  contrary.  As  has  been  stated, 
an  attack  was  anticipated,  so  the  British  artillery  was  ex- 
ceptionally  active   firing   on   all   points   where   troop   move- 


16  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

ments  had  been  noticed  and  on  important  roads  and  cross- 
ings. The  artillery's  activity  on  our  part  consequently  called 
for  retaliation  from  the  enemy  which  made  the  sector  one 
of  the  hottest  on  the  front.  Due  to  this  very  heavy  shelling 
the  casualties  numbered  more  than  was  expected. 

The  2nd  Battalion  was  disposed  of  as  follows:  "F" 
Company  occupied  the  right  front  sector  with  two  platoons 
in  the  front  line  and  two  platoons  in  close  support.  "E" 
Company  with  four  platoons  occupied  the  front  line  on  the 
left  sector.  "G"  Company  with  four  platoons  in  close  sup- 
port. "H"  Company  in  reserve.  "F"  and  "H"  Companies 
were  with  the  Queen's  Royal  Rifles,  while  "E"  and  "G" 
Companies  were  with  the  5th  Scotch  Rifles.  During  the 
period  of  occupation  there  were  a  few  changes  made  in  this 
disposition  by  means  of  inter-Battalion  reliefs.  The  train- 
ing was  the  same  as  stated  for  the  1st  Battalion. 

The  3rd  Battalion  occupied  the  Blue  Line  during  the 
period  that  the  2nd  Battalion  was  in  the  forward  position 
then  relieved  the  2nd  Battalion  in  the  Canal  sector  on  the 
night  of  August  1-2,  1918.  A  detachment  from  the  Signal 
Platoon  from  Headquarters  Company  under  command  of 
1st  Lieut.  Nathaniel  Hannau,  accompanied  the  Battalion 
into  line. 

The  Machine  Gun  Company  was  under  control  of  the 
33rd  British  Division  and  received  practical  instructions  in 
the  same  manner  as  did  the  line  companies  of  the  Regiment. 

While  the  3rd  Battalion  was  occupying  the  front  line 
position,  the  1st  Battalion  held  the  reserve  trench  or  Blue 
Line  going  in  on  the  night  of  August  1-2,  and  remaining 
until  it  was  withdrawn  Sunday  morning,  August  10th,  1918. 

With  the  withdrawal  from  the  line  of  this  Battalion 
Phase  B  of  the  scheme  of  instruction  was  completed  for  this 
Regiment  and  it  was  now  deemed  capable  of  taking  over 
and  occupying  a  place  in  the  firing  line  alone. 

From  the  10th  of  August,  1918,  until  the  15th  day  of 
August,  1918,  the  Regiment  trained  around  Watou  in  a 
great  way  correcting  errors  which  had  been  noted  during 
the  tour  in  line.  On  the  15th  day  of  August,  the  Command- 
ing Officer  of  the  Regiment  received  orders  that  the  Regi- 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  17 

ment  should  proceed  that  night  and  occupy  the  Blue  Line 
in  the  Canal  sector,  which  it  did.  Regimental  Headquarters

OCCUPATION  AND  OPERATIONS  IN  CANAL  SECTOR 
UP  TO,  AND  INCLUDING 
SEPTEMEER  4th,  1918. 

The  Canal  sector  was  the  general  line  extending  from  im- 
mediately southeast  of  Ypres,  about  two  miles  southwest  to 
Elzenwalla,  inclusive,  on  both  sides  of  the  Ypres-Commines 
Canal  and  the  country  on  this  immediate  front  was  very 
low  and  wet,  thus  causing  many  hardships  upon  the  troops 
occupying  it.  To  the  right  of  the  Canal  sector  stood  Mount 
Kemmel,  from  the  top  of  which  the  Germans  had  a  domina- 
ting view  of  the  entire  sector,  thus  causing  camouflaged 
screens  to  be  erected  on  all  main  roads  leading  towards  the 
front,  and  making  it  very  difficult  to  move  about  during 
the  day.  On  the  left  of  this  sector  was  the  remains  of  Ypres, 
after  the  great  battle  the  British  fought  in  July,  1916,  when 
the  Germans  used  gas  for  the  first  time. 

The  subdivisions  of  the  Canal  sector,   such  as  support,

reserve,  etc.,  were  represented  by  different  lines  of  trenches 
as  follows: 

The  actual  front  line  was  known  as  G.  H.  Q.  1,  and  the 
second  in  close  support  as  G.  H.  Q.  2  line.  Support  position 
was  the  Brown  Line,  and  the  reserve  Yellow  and  Green 
Lines. 

This  front  when  taken  over  by  the  30th  American  Divi- 
sion was  occupied  by  the  33rd  British  Division,  and  the  89th 
British  Brigade  under  the  command  of  Brigadier  General 
Baird,  was  holding  the  front  line.  This  Brigade  consisted 
of  three  battalions  as  follows: 

2nd  Argyle  and  Southern  Highlanders. 
4th  Kings'  Royal  Rifles, 
1st  Middlesex. 

On  August  15th,  1918,  the  following  order  was  issued

for  moving  the  3rd  Battalion,  119th  Infantry  Regiment 
from  the  Green  Line  to  the  right  sub-sector  of  the  Yellow 
Line. 

Upon  moving  into  the  front  line  on  night  of  August  16-17, 
the  119th  Infantry  Regiment  took  over  from  the  98th  British 
Brigade  in  the  following  order: 

The  1st  Battalion,  commanded  by  Capt.  Otho  Robin-

service  the  Divisional  Artillery  was  left  behind  and  did  not 
come  over  until  about  one  month  later.  Upon  its  arrival 
in  France,  it  was  assigned  to  duty  with  the  33rd  American

16-17,  the  98th  British  Artillery  Brigade,  commanded  by 
Colonel  Butler,  remained  in  the  line  supporting  the  right 
sub-sector   until   about  August   25th,   when   it  was   relieved 

by    the    British    Artillery    Brigade,    commanded    by 

Colonel  Ladd,  with  headquarters  at  Assan  Farm  and  was 
still  in  the  line  when  the  30th  Division  was  relieved.

Regiment,  then  in  right  Regimental  front.  The  1st  Battalion 
upon  being  relieved  withdrew  to  the  same  position  vacated 
by  the  3rd  Battalion.  The  disposition  of  the  3rd  Battalion 
was  as  follows: 

Company  "M"  took  over  right  Regimental  front.  Com- 
pany "K"  had  one  platoon  in  Scottish  Wood  with  the  re- 
mainder of  the  Company  in  the  Domino  Trench  and  the 
Ravine.  Company  "L"  in  the  Brown  Line  near  Ottawa

History  of  ngth  Infantry  27 

The  Right  Rear  Company  of  the  Right  Battalion,  and  the  Left  Rear 
Company  of  the  Left  Battalion  will  constitute  the  Regimental 
Reserve. 

The  Rear  Battalion  will,  with  one  (1)  Battalion  of  the  120th  Infantry 
Regiment,  constitute  the  Brigade  Reserve. 

Right  Battalion  Headquarters  will  move  to: 
Left  Battalion  Headquarters  will  move  to: 
Policy  of  Defense: 

(1)  Defense  of  Sector  will  be  active.    "No  Man's  Land"  will  be  patrolled 

constantly  with  the  object  of: 

(a)Maintaining  superiority  over  enemy  patrols  and  thereby  insuring  con- 
trol of  "No  Man's  Land." 

(b)  Locating  hostile  forward  posts. 

(c)  Insuring  a  constant  flow  of  prisoners.     This  is  all  important,  as  pris- 

oners and  the  consequent  identification  of  hostile  units  form  the 
surest  source  of  information  with  regard  to  the  enemy's  intentions. 

(2)  During  Normal  Periods: 

Any  incursion  of  the  enemy  into  our  lines  will  be  met  by  immediate 
counter-attack  by  Platoons,  or  Companies,  held  in  readiness  for 
this  purpose.  With  this  object,  each  Company  earmark  a  Platoon, 
each  Battalion  a  Company. 

These  counter-attack  units  will: 

(a)  Be  in  possession  of  written  instruction  as  to  their  action  in  case  of 

attacks. 

(b)  Carry  out  a  thorough  reconnaisance  of  the  area  held  by  the  unit  or 

formation  to  which  they  belong,  and  the  areas  on  the  immediate 
flanks  of  that  unit  or  formation.  On  the  reconnaisance,  and  a 
thorough  study  of  the  ground  to  be  operated  over,  the  success  of 
the  immediate  counter-attack  will  mainly  depend. 

(3)  In  the  Event  of  a  Hostile  Offensive  on  a  Large  Scale: 

All  the  ground  will  be  held.  There  wi]l  be  no  retirement  and  every 
position  occupied  will  be  fought  and  held  to  the  last  man  and  last 
round.  There  will  be  no  withdrawal  except  by  order  to  withdraw 
from  the  authority  who  assigned  the  position  to  be  held. 

It  is  to  be  clearly  understood  that  the  object  of  the  move  referred  to  in 
paragraph  6-(2)  will  be: 
(tf^To  lesson  the  number  of  casualties  which  may  be  expected  from  the 
enemy's  preliminary  bombardment  of  our  forward  areas. 

(b)  To  break  up  his  attack  and  inflict  the  heaviest  losses  upon  his  assault- 

ing troops  by  the  Garrison  of  Centres  of  Resistance  (which  in  every 
case  will  be  held  to  the  last.) 

(c)  To  keep  as  large  a  proportion  as  possible  of  troops  in  hand  to  counter- 

attack and  recover  the  original  line  at  the  earliest  moment. 


28  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

That  the  move  referred  to  in  paragraph  6- (2)  is  only  to  be  carried 
out  after  receipt  of  orders  from  Regimental  Headquarters  to  do  so. 
(4)  In  the  Event  of  Any  Centre  of  Resistance  Being  Lost: 

The  C.  O.  of  the  Battalion  concerned  will  order  an  immediate  counter- 
attack to  be  made  to  recover  it. 

Schemes  for  counter-attacking  these  Centres  of  Resistance  will  be 
prepared  beforehand;  in  no  case  will  the  garrison  of  any  Centre  of 
Resistance  be  used  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  out  a  counter-at- 
tack to  recover  another  one. 

The  security  of  the  Immediate  line  will  be  of  primary  importance  and 
must  be  provided  for  at  all  times  in  considering  the  force  to  be 
detailed  for  counter-attack  forward  of  that  line. 

Nucleus  garrisons  of  not  less  than  three  (3)  Platoons  each  Battalion 
section  will  therefor  be  told  off  to  selected  portions  of  the  Inter- 
mediate line  and  these  will,  on  no  account,  be  used  to  counter- 
attack forward  of  this  line  until  relieved  by  troops  sent  up  from 
behind. 

8.  Action  of  Two  (2)  Regimental  Reserve  Companies: 

These  two   (2)   Companies  will  be  available: 

(a)  To  deliver  a  counter-attack  against  any  portion  of  the   Regimental 

Front  captured  by  the  enemy. 

(b)  To  hold  a  defensive  flank  facing  S.  W.  along  the  line  Opium  Farm 

(H.  21.  c.  9.  7.)  Vijverhoek  (H.  29.  a.  2.  3.). 

(c)  To  hold  the  Brown  line  within  the  Regimental  area.     All  officers  of 

the  two  (2)  Reserve  Companies  will  make  themselves  thoroughly 
acquainted  with  the  whole  of  the  Regimental  area  and  areas  on 
the  immediate  flanks. 

In  the  event  of  these  Companies  being  ordered  to  move  forward,  four 
(4)  Lewis  Guns  per  Company  will  be  left  behind  as  a  nucleus  gar- 
rison of  the  Brown  line  and  Opium  Farm- Vijverhoek  Line,  unless 
troops  have  previously  arrived  to  take  over  the  defense  of  this 
line. 

The  Lewis  Gun  positions  will  be  carefully  selected  by  the  Company 
Commanders  concerned  and  marked  by  notice  boards  as  "Primary 
Lewis  Gun  Positions". 

The  positions  for  the  remaining  Lewis  Guns  of  the  two  (2)  Companies 
will  also  be  selected  and  marked  by  notice  boards. 

9.  The  Support  Battalion  will  be  available  for  any  operations  in  the  Brigade 

area.     Officers  of  this  Battalion  should  thoroughly  familiarize  them- 
selves with  the  area  by  personal  reconnaisance. 

10.  Policy  of  Work: 

The  Regiment  is  responsible  for  work  on  all  defenses  in  the  sector 
forward  of  the  Intermediate  line.  The  105th  Engineers  will  assist 
in  this  work. 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  29 

For  the  present  the  working  program  will  be  as  follows: 

(a)  Preparation  and  construction  of  Centres  of  Resistance. 

(b)  ►Improvement  of  trenches  actually  occupied  by  troops  and  communi- 

cation trenches.  Working  parties  forward  of  the  Intermediate 
line  will,  in  event  of  sudden  hostile  attack,  immediately  report  to 
the  nearest  Infantry  Commander  and  place  themselves  at  his  dis- 
posal.    There  will  be  no  movements  towards  the  rear. 

11.  All  officers  and  N.  C.  O.'s  will  familiarize  themselves  with  the  location 

of  Company,  Battalion  and  Regimental  ammunition  dumps.  The 
map  co-ordinates  of  the  same  will  be  furnished  on  separate  annes.  The 
ammunition  supply  will  be  maintained  at  the  minimum  requirements 
at  all  times. 

12.  Scheme  of  Defense  for  T.  M.  Battery  will  be  arranged  by  Battery  Com- 

mander and  reported  to  these  Headquarters. 

13.  Regimental  Headquarters  will  remain  at  Assam  Farm. — H.  22.  a.  3.  6.

Capt.  119th  Infantry. 


On  the  night  of  August  26-27,  1918,  the  2nd  Battalion, 
119th  Infantry  Regiment  was  relieved  by  the  1st  Battalion, 
119th  Infantry  Regiment,  in  the  left  Regimental  front. 
Upon  the  completion  of  the  relief,  the  2nd  Battalion  with- 
drew to  reserve  position  vacated  by  the  1st  Battalion.  Dis- 
postion  of  the  1st  Battalion  was  as  follows: 

Company  "C"  in  G.  H.  Q.  1  trench  protecting  Battalion 
right  front.  Two  platoons  Company  "D"  on  left  of  Company 
"C"  protecting  Battalion  left  front.     Two  other  platoons  of 


30  History  of  upth  Infantry 

Company  "D"  on  left  of  Segard  Woods.  Company  "B"  in 
the  Ravine.  Company  "A"  in  the  Brown  Line  near  Assam 
Farm. 

About  the  night  of  27-28  of  August,  Company  "M"  was 
relieved  by  Companies  "I"  and  "L",  and  "M"  Company 
withdrew  to  Ottawa  Farm.  Company  "I"  was  occupying 
the  right  front  of  3rd  Battalion  with  two  platoons  in  G.  H. 
Q.  1  line  and  the  remainder  of  Company  on  Anzac  Ridge. 
Company  "L"  occupied  the  left  front  of  3rd  Battalion  with 
two  platoons  in  G.  H.  Q.  1  line,  one  platoon  in  Domino 
Trench  and  the  other  platoon  in  the  Ravine.  Company 
"K"  was  in  the  Brown  Line  near  Smythe  Farm. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  August  31st  the  Commanding 
Officer,  119th  Infantry  received  telephonic  communication 
from  the  Division  Commander  that  the  Germans  had 
evacuated,  or  partly  evacuated  Mount  Kemmel,  and  that 
the  British  had  advanced  to  occupy  the  evacuated  section. 

A  general  retirement  of  the  Germans  was  now  anticipated 
on  this  front  due  to  their  heavy  losses  and  the  rapid  advance 
of  the  Allies  further  south.  That  morning  about  9 :00  a.  m.,  the 
Division  Commander  instructed  the  Commanding  Officer 
119th  Infantry  to  push  out  strong  combat  patrols  over  his 
entire  front  and  gain  contact  with  the  enemy.  Patrols  were 
sent  out  about  10:30  a.  m.,  and  advanced  about  100  yards 
when  stout  opposition  was  met  as  the  enemy  machine  guns 
came  into  operation  making  it  impossible  for  these  patrols 
to  advance  much  further,  until  additional  aid  was  received 
from  supporting  platoons,  establishing  a  general  firing  line. 
After  the  line  had  been  strengthened  the  advance  began 
again  that  afternoon  about  6:00  p.  m.,  and  continued  at 
intervals  throughout  the  night  and  the  following  morning. 

During  the  fighting  that  day  two  of  our  men  were  cap- 
tured and  five  or  six  killed.  Several  of  the  enemy  were  killed 
and  one  captured.  From  wounds  seen  on  the  bodies  of  the 
dead  Germans  there  appeared  evidence  of  bayonet  fighting 
and  hand-to-hand  contact  with  the  enemy. 

At  7:30  a.  m.,  on  the  morning  of  August  31st,  the  troops 
composing  the  attack  of  the  119th  Infantry  Regiment  had 
reached  the  line  Voormezeele-Switch  in  I.  31.  6.  and  I.  32.  A. 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  31 

Lock  8,  inclusive,  and  thence  along  existing  front  line,  cap- 
turing the  town  of  Voormezeele.  Upon  reaching  this  point 
orders  were  received  to  consolidate  and  hold  the  position 
gained.  Both  flanks  of  the  Regiment  were  exposed  and 
Liaison  could  not  be  obtained  with  the  units  on  the  right 
and  left.  The  108th  Infantry  Regiment  of  the  27th  Ameri- 
can Division  being  on  the  right  and  the  120th  Infantry 
Regiment  on  the  left.  Upon  the  consolidation  of  this  posi- 
tion one  platoon  of  Company  "I"  was  sent  up  to  protect 
the  right  flank  of  the  3rd  Battalion,  Companies  "K"  and 
"M"  moved  up  to  G.  H.  Q.  1  line.  On  the  night  of  Sep- 
tember 1-2,  Companies  "E"  and  "G"  of  the  2nd  Battalion 
relieved  Companies  "L"  and  "I"  of  the  3rd  Battalion  in 
the  advance  position.  Companies  "F"  and  "H"  remaining 
back  in  reserve. 

Company  "C"  of  the  1st  Battalion  was  moved  back  to 
the  Ravine.  Two  platoons  of  Company  "B"  in  close  support 
were  moved  up  and  relieved  the  two  platoons  of  Company 
"D"  on  the  left  half  of  1st  Battalion  in  the  advance  posi- 
tion. Company  "B"  was  now  holding  the  entire  front  of 
1st  Battalion.  Two  platoons  of  Company  "D"  withdrew  to 
G.  H.  Q.  1  line  and  the  other  two  occupying  small  trenches 
between  there  and  the  new  line. 

Two  platoons  of  Machine  Gun  Company,  119th  Infantry 
Regiment  came  back  in  the  line  August  31st  for  the  attack; 
one  platoon  was  with  the  1st  Battalion  and  one  with  the 
3rd  Battalion.  The  other  platoons  remained  in  reserve. 
(It  is  well  to  note  here  that'  the  119th  Infantry  was  the 
first  American  unit  to  take  over  a  front  line  sector  in  Bel- 
gium, the  first  to  make  an  advance,  the  first  to  capture  a 
prisoner  and  the  first  to  capture  a  town.) 

On  August  29th,  1918,  orders  were  issued  to  the  effect 
that  the  118th  Infantry  Regiment  (American)  would  relieve 
the  119th  Infantry  Regiment  (American)  on  night  of  31st, 
August  and  1st  September.  Advance  parties  were  sent  to 
join  the  119th  Infantry  in  order  that  they  might  become 
acquainted  and  familiar  with  the  front  which  their  regiment 
was  ordered  to  take  over  in  a  couple  of  days.  This  relief 
never  took  place  on  account  of  the  advance  made  by    the

119th  Infantry  Regiment  and  the  advance  party  of  the 
118th  Infantry  Regiment  rejoined  their  organization  Sep- 
tember 1st,   1918. 

During  the  training,  occupation  and  operation  in  the 
Canal  sector  the  following  number  of  officers  and  men  were 
either  killed,  wounded  or  captured.

Upon  the  transfer  from  the  2nd  British  Army,  the  Regi- 
ment proceeded  by  rail  to  the  St.  Pol  Area,  arriving  there 
the  morning  of  September  7th,  1918.  Regimental  Head- 
quarters and  Headquarters  Company  were  located  at  Mais- 
nel  St.  Pol.  1st  Battalion  and  Companies  "C"  and  "D" 
at  Neuville  au  Cornet,  Companies  "A"  and  "B"  at  Monts 
En  Tornois.  2nd  Battalion  at  Buneville.  3rd  Battalion  at 
Moncheaux.  Machine  Gun  Company  at  Tachincourt. 
Supply  Company  at  Herlin  Le  Sac. 

This  Area  was  located  near  St.  Pol,  France,  a  town  of 
probably  30,000  inhabitants  and  was  known  as  a  rest  and 
training  sector.  Here,  for  the  first  time  in  two  months,  the 
Regiment  was  out  of  the  Enemy  Artillery  Range.  The 
men  enjoyed  the  experience.  The  time  there  was  devoted 
to  recreation,  however,  training  for  future  work  did  not 
suffer.  One  of  the  points  greatly  stressed  was  the  Infantry 
attack  assisted  by  tanks.  An  opportunity  was  given  to 
three  companies  to  engage  in  assemilated  attack  with 
the  Tanks  while  the  other  companies  of  the  Regiment 
observed  their  tactical  use.  This  training  though  not  ap- 
preciated at  the  time,  proved  of  inestimable  value  in 
the  subsequent  operations  of  the  Regiment. 

On  the  17th  day  of  September,  1918,  the  Regiment 
moved  by  rail  pursuant  to  the  following  order  to  the  Puche- 
villere  Area:

ing completed  by  9:00  p.  m.  Two  Motor  Ambulances  will 
accompany  the  column.  Debussing  point  to  be  designated 
by  the  Brigade  Commander. 

This  movement  was  carried  out  according  to  instruc- 
tions and  the  Regiment  arrived  in  the  Tincourt  Area  about 
6:00  a.  m.,  September  24th,  and  after  a  four  mile  hike  was 
camped  in  the  southern  edge  of  a  wood  immediately  N.  W. 
of  Tincourt. 

Here  the  Regiment  had  reached  shell  fire  again  as  one 
could  be  heard  whizzing  overhead  several  times  each  day 
and  everyone  was  beginning  to  realize  that  they  were  draw- 
ing close  to  the  fighting  line  every  hour  on  account  of  the 
rapidity  and  secrecy  of  order  and  movements. 

That  afternoon  the  Regiment  moved  up  a  little  closer 
to  the  line  and  was  distributed  in  sunken  roads,  chalk  cliffs, 
etc.,  throughout  the  vicinity  of  Roisel. 

Here  several  Australian  Officers  and  N.  C.  O.'s  were 
attached  to  the  Regiment,  to  assist  with  their  advice  and 
aid  in  any  way  possible  for  the  coming  operations,  as  they 
were  thoroughly  familiar  with  this  sector  of  the  line. 

The  Regiment  remained  at  Roisel  three  days,  making 
their  final  plans  for  the  attack  on  September  29th,  against 
the  Hindenburg  Line. 

September  26th,  the  following  Regimental  Order  was

(3)  Troops  will  keep  entirely  to  areas  of  units  they  relieve. 

(4)  The  usual  anti-draft  precautions  will  be  taken. 

(5)  Troops  will  march  off  roads  as  much  as  possible. 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  41 

After  taking  over  the  line  on  the  night  of  the  27-28  of 
September  until  the  morning  of  the  attack,  great  pains  were 
taken  to  instruct  each  individual  soldier  in  his  particular 
duty. 

The  supporting  Artillery  which  consisted  of  nine  Field 
Artillery  Brigades  and  five  Heavy  Artillery  Brigades,  kept 
up  a  continual  fire  harrassing  the  enemy  and  destroying  his 
defense.  The  Artillery  preparation  covered  a  period  of 
48  hours  prior  to  the  attack. 

On  the  night  of  September  28-29th,  the  tape  was  laid 
by  the  105th  Engineers.  Due  to  casualties,  however,  this 
task  was  completed  by  officers  of  this  Regiment.  The  Tanks 
which  were  to  assist  in  the  attack  were  led  into  position; 
and  the  Infantry  took  their  place  upon  the  tape  in  the  fol- 
lowing order:  1st  Battalion,  commanded  by  Capt.  Otho 
Robinson,  with  "A"  and  "D"  assaulting  Companies  and 
Companies  "B"  and  "C"  in  close  support.  2nd  Battalion, 
commanded  by  Capt.  Graham  K.  Hobbs,  with  "F"  and 
"G"  assaulting  Companies  with  "E"  and  "H"  in  close  sup- 
port. 3rd  Battalion,  commanded  by  Major  William  S. 
Privott,  with  the  exception  of  "M"  Company,  which  was 
broken  up  into  carrying  parties,  was  assigned  as  "moppers 
up",  to  follow  the  two  front  line  Battalions  and  clean  up 
all  the  trenches,  dug-outs,  and  machine  gun  posts,  taken 
by  them.  "I"  and  "L"  Companies  were  to  mop  up  the 
Tunnel  alone.  Company  "K"  assisted  in  the  "mopping  up", 
but  was  later  called  upon  to  protect  the  left  flank  of  the 
2nd  Battalion. 

The  following  order  was  issued  governing  the  attack:

There  wall  be  a  preliminary  bombardment  by  nine  (9)  F.  A. 
Brigades  and  about  five  (5)  Heavy  Artillery  Brigades,  for  a 
considerable  period  for  the  purpose  of  completing  the  enemy's 
demoralization  and  destroying  his  defenses.  The  Artillery 
will  support  the  Infantry  attack  with  a  creeping  barrage, 
including  a  considerable  proportion  of  smoke  shells  (details 
of  Artillery  plan,  time  table,  etc.,  will  be  issued  later). 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  43 

2.  Tanks: 

The  Infantry  will  be  proceeded  by  12  tanks  from  the  Fourth 
Tank  Brigade.  Battalion  Commanders  will  furnish  guides 
to  conduct  the  Tanks  from  their  forming  up  place  to  the 
Infantry  Departure  tape  as  already  arranged.  Battalion 
Commanders  are  responsible  that  these  approaches  be 
taped  on  the  night  of  Day  D-l  in  sufficient  time  to  permit 
the  approach  of  the  tanks. 

3.  Contact  Infantry  Aeroplanes  will  be  available  for  communication 

from  ground  to  Aeroplane.  Flares  and  disk  will  be  displayed 
only  by  front  line  troops  when  called  for  by  these  planes,  when 
a  Klaxon  horn  is  sounded  or  a  white,  very  Light  is  fired. 

4.  All  Machine  Guns  of  the  Division  (less  Regimental  M.  G.  Co.'s), 

will  assist  the  advance  by  thickening  the  Artillery  barrage,

tance between   units  to   be  gained  while  advancing.     The 
right  flank  of  the  Brigade  will  be  protected  by  an  Artillery 
Smoke  Screen. 
2.  Mopping  up: 

Mopping  up  will  be  done  in  accordance  with  map  furnished  the 
Battalion  Commanders  by  Regimental  Headquarters.  Bat- 
talion Commanders  will  see  that  moppers  up  wear  a  distinc- 
tive mark,  and  that  mopping  up  arrangements  are  worked 
out  with  the  utmost  care  and  detail.  Special  attention  is 
called  to  the  report  on  the  St.  Quentin  Canal  furnished  the 
Battalion  Commanders  by  Regimental  Headquarters.  Bat- 
talion Commanders  will  insure  that  definite  bodies  are  al- 
lotted for  duty  at  each  entrance  and  exit  to  the  tunnel,  and 
that  extra  parties  are  detailed  to  search  unknown  entrances 
and  exits.  These  troops  must  on  no  account  be  withdrawn 
from  their  task  until  their  work  is  completely  accomplished 
and  will  only  be  withdrawn  upon  the  authority  of  an  officer 
or  Platoon  Commander.  A  full  supply  of  smoke  bombs 
and  grenades  will  be  carried  by  moppers  up. 
(a)  Formation  for  the  attack. 

Troops  will  assemble  by  4:30  a.  m.,  on  the  Tape  line  which  is  to  be 
held  by  Engineers.  Battalion  Commander  will  insure  that 
sufficient  tape  is  laid  running  to  the  trenches  to  facilitate  the 
forming  of  troops.  The  forming  up  of  troops  will  be  completed 
as  quietly  and  quickly  as  possible  and  all  troops  will  be  massed 
on  the  tape  as  closely  as  possible  in  order  to  avoid  the  enemy 
barrage. 
{b)  Lifts  of  Artillery  Barrage: 

Barrage  will  lift  at  the  following  rates:  100  yards  in  three  (3) 
minutes  for  the  first  600  yards,  thereafter  100  yards  in  four  (4) 
minutes.     On  the  barrage  reaching  500  yards  East  of  the  St. 


44  History  of  ngth  Infantry

which  it  resumes  this  advance  at  the  rate  of  100  yards  every 
four  (4)  minutes. 

(c)  Tanks  accompanying  the  Infantry  will  follow  the  barrage  at  approxi- 

mately seventy  (70)  yards.  The  first  wave  will  follow  the  tanks 
at  approximately  seventy  (70)  yards,  action  of  tanks  accompanying 
supporting  troops  will  be  dictated  by  the  situation. 

(d)  Battalion   Commanders   will   insure   that   specially   selected   men   are 

employed  on  the  flanks  to  maintain  direction  with  the  aid  of  pris- 
matic compasses. 

(e)  The  success  signal  will  be  a  No.  23  Rifle  Grenade  bursting  into  three 

white  lights. 

4.  (a)  Care  will  be  taken  that  signal  is  not  fired  until  objecive  is  reached. 
(b)  Under  cover  of  the  protective  barrage,  patrols  will  be  sent  forward 

and  the  positions  prepared  for  defense. 

5.  Upon  occupation  of  the  line,  immediate  steps  will  be  taken  to  establish 

'iaison  with  flank  units  and  maintain  same  throughout  the  operation. 

6.  Posts  of  Command  before  attack: 

60th  Infantry  Brigade.... L.  10.  a.  1.  4.

arrangements  and  of  Companies  under  Battalion  arrangements. 

8.  Second  phase  of  the  attack: 

The  5th  Australian  Division  with  its  own  Artillery  and  tanks  will  pass 
through  the  60th  Brigade  after  the  60th  Brigade  has  attained  its 
objective.  After  the  whole  Australian  Division,  including  its  re- 
serves has  passed  through,  the  60th  Brigade  will  be  re-assembled. 
Time  and  place  will  be  notified  later. 

9.  Communication  Supply  and  Evacuation,  as  prescribed  by  the  30th  Divi- 

sion  orders   regulating   road   movements   and   traffic   control    will   be 
strictly  observed. 

10.  General  Remarks: 

(a)  When  barrage  halts  on  Canal  for  15  minutes,  every  opportunity  will 

be  taken  to  re-organize  units  preparatory  to  resuming  the  ad- 
vance.

HINDENBURG   LINE. 

To  fully  appreciate  the  importance  of  this  operation  it 
is  here  deemed  necessary  to  explain  somewhat  in  detail  the 
magnitude  of  the  undertaking.  The  Hindenburg  Line  so 
called  because  relied  upon  and  established  by  the  German 
General  Von  Hindenburg,  was  the  last  organized  system  of 
trenches  to  stop  an  Allied  advance.  So  well  was  this  system 
of  trenches  organized  and  so  much  faith  pinned  upon  its 
impregnability,  that  a  break  through  meant  not  only  the 
destruction  of  the  back-bone  of  the  German  defense  system, 
but  also  the  morale  of  the  German  Army.  Another  fact  of 
extreme  importance  was  that  once  the  Allied  Armies  had 
penetrated  the  German  line  at  this  point,  the  enemy's  army 
in  Flanders  would  be  completely  bottled  up  with  no  means 
of  escape.  The  attack  was  to  take  place  on  a  Three  Corps 
Front,  with  the  Second  American  Corps,  composed  of  the 
27th  and  30th  Divisions  in  the  Center,  attacking  opposite 
Bony  and  Bellicourt,  the  strongest  point  in  the  line. 

"The  Hindenburg  Line  at  this  point  curves  in  front  of 
the  tunnel  of  St.  Quentin.  .  .  The  line  curving  west  of  the 
tunnel  consists  of  three  main  trench  systems  protected  by 
vast  fields  of  heavy  barbed  wire  entanglements  skillfully 
placed;  this  wire  was  very  heavy  and  had  been  damaged 
very  little  by  Artillery  fire.  The  dominating  ground  enabled 
the  enemy  to  bring  devastating  machine  gun  fire  on  all 
approaches.  The  lines  had  been  straightened  with  concrete 
machine  gun  emplacements.  It  contained  at  this  point  a 
large  number  of  dugouts  lined  with  mining  timbers,  with 
wooden  steps  leading  down  to  a  depth  of  about  thirty  feet 
with  small  rooms  capable  of  holding  from  four  to  six  men 


46  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

each.  In  many  cases  these  dugouts  were  wired  for  electric 
lights.  The  large  tunnel  through  which  the  Canal  ran  was 
of  sufficient  capacity  to  shelter  a  Division.  This  tunnel 
was  electrically  lighted  and  filled  with  barges  on  which  the 
Boche  lived  connecting  it  with  the  Hindenburg  Trench 
System  and  numerous  tunnels.  In  one  case  a  direct  tunnel 
ran  from  the  main  tunnel  to  the  basement  of  a  large  stone 
building  which  the  enemy  used  for  headquarters.  Other 
tunnels  ran  from  the  main  tunnel  eastward  to  the  city  of 
Bellicourt  and  other  places.  This  complete  subterranean 
system,  with  its  hidden  exits  and  entrances,  unknown  to  us 
formed  a  most  complete  and  safe  subterranean  method  of 
communication  and  re-enforcement  for  the  German  sector." 

ATTACK  ON  HINDENBURG  LINE. 

The  Regiment  completed  its  formation  on  the  tape  by 
4:30  a.  m.,  Sunday,  September  29th,  1918,  and  waited  quiet- 
ly the  zero  hour.  At  exactly  5:50  a.  m.,  the  most  terrific 
barrage  ever  laid  down  on  the  Western  Front  opened  and 
the  Infantry  following  it  as  closely  as  possible,  assisted  by 
such  a  density  of  fog  and  smoke  that  a  person  could  not  be 
seen  at  a  distance  greater  than  five  yards,  succeeded  in 
making  its  way  through  the  strong  fortifications  assisting  the 
120th  Infantry  in  the  capture  of  the  town  of  Bellicourt  and 
the  St.  Quentin  Canal,  pushing  forward  towards  its  objec- 
tive. The  fog  and  smoke  caused  quite  a  bit  of  confusion. 
No  one,  except  with  the  aid  of  a  compass,  could  keep  the 
proper  direction,  consequently  the  Companies  became  very 
much  mixed  and  scattered,  a  situation  which  might  have 
been  more  serious  but  for  the  work  of  the  officers,  the  train- 
ing of  the  men  and  the  utter  rout  of  the  enemy. 

Some  units  of  the  Regiment  reached  the  final  objective 
on  the  left  but  these  were  captured  by  the  enemy  as  soon 
as  they  saw  the  gap  in  the  line  caused  by  the  failure  of  the 
27th  Division  to  keep  up  with  the  advance.  Because  of 
this  gap  the  Regimental  left  necessarily  had  to  conform  in 
order  to  prevent  a  retaking  of  the  ground  gained  by  a  coun- 
ter-attack. During  the  time  that  this  left  flank  was  ex- 
posed the  Regiment  suffered  a  loss  by  capture  of  three  of- 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  47 

ficers  and  several  enlisted  men  and  a  great  number  killed 
and  wounded. 

A  short  time  after  the  zero  hour,  prisoners  were  started 
to  the  rear  and  the  road  from  Hargicourt  to  Bellicourt  was 
practically  filled  with  them  during  the  entire  day.  These 
prisoners  seemed  overjoyed  at  the  fact  of  their  capture, 
especially  by  an  American  Unit.  Quite  a  number  of  these 
were  interviewed  and  readily  gave  any  information  desired. 

Owing  to  the  magnitude  of  the  offensive,  it  was  deemed 
necessary  as  a  precautionary  measure  to  further  protect  the 
left  flank  which  had  suffered  so  heavily  during  the  engage- 
ment, against  a  possible  counter-attack  by  the  enemy.  For 
this  purpose  one  Battalion  of  the  118th  Infantry  was  sent 
to  the  Regimental  Commander  to  be  used  as  he  deemed 
necessary.  He  in  turn  sent  the  Battalion  forward  to  occupy 
a  trench  which  ran  from  the  Canal  in  a  westerly  direction. 
This  Battalion  completed  the  occupation  at  about  12:30 
a.  m.,  the  morning  of  September  30th,  1918.  The  counter- 
attack never  materialized. 

Upon  information  gained  from  a  German  Battalion 
Commander  interviewed  at  Regimental  Headquarters,  it 
was  learned  that  when  the  enemy  realized  that  the  Ameri- 
cans had  broken  through  their  wire  and  first  defenses,  they 
withdrew  the  bulk  of  their  reserves  from  the  tunnel  and 
reserve  trenches,  with  the  idea  of  making  a  stand  at  a  posi- 
tion further  to  their  rear.  However,  finding  that  the  Divi- 
sion (27th  American)  on  the  left  of  the  Regimental  sector 
had  failed  to  keep  up  with  the  advance  and  that  the  Regi- 
mental left  flank  was  exposed,  pushed  additional  troops  in 
on  the  left.  This  move  on  the  part  of  the  enemy  developed 
for  the  119th  Infantry  Regiment,  as  it  may  be  termed,  a 
second  battle  for  the  day,  on  the  then  exposed  left  flank, 
between  our  advance  line  and  the  right  flank  of  the  27th 
Division. 

According  to  the  scheme  of  attack,  the  Fifth  Australian 
Division  was  to  pass  through  the  Regiment  upon  its  reach- 
ing its  final  objective.  Since  the  final  objective  was  not 
reached,  and  since  such  a  critical  situation  presented  itself 
on  the  left  flank,  the  Australians  came  into  the  line  during 


48  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

the  afternoon  of  September  the  29th,  and  occupied  the 
front  line  trenches  along  with  the  men  of  this  Regiment, 
and  it  was  not  until  the  morning  of  the  30th,  that  they 
were  able  to  make  an  advance.  About  the  same  time  the 
Australians  began  their  advance,  orders  were  received  to 
assemble  the  Regiment  preparatory  to  withdrawal  from 
the  line  for  rest.  It  may  be  noticed  that  many  of  our  men 
advanced  with  the  Australians  and  had  to  be  ordered  to 
assemble  in  order  that  they  might  be  relieved  with  the 
Regiment.  The  entire  day  of  September  30th  was  consumed 
with  a  re-organization  of  the  Regiment  and  the  consolida- 
tion of  the  occupied  position.  Scouting  parties  were  de- 
tailed to  search  every  trench  and  dugout  for  the  dead  and 
wounded,  numbers  were  found.  Captured  material  was 
collected  and  placed  along  the  road  leading  to  Bellicourt. 
During  the  engagement,  the  Regiment  suffered  losses  as 
follows : 

Officers     Men 

Killed _. 146 

Wounded...... 9       682 

Died  "of  Wounds 1  15 

Prisoners.. 4         33 

Missing _ ._ 12 

The  field  over  which  this  fight  took  place,  on  the  30th 
day  of  September,  presented  a  miserable  appearance,  as 
dead  soldiers  were  scattered  broadcast  over  its  area.  Shell 
holes  were  so  numerous  that  one  could  not  walk  three  steps 
without  falling  into  one.  Huge  masses  of  barbed  wire  had 
been  partly  cut  by  the  bombardment  and  the  Tanks.  Not 
a  telephone  pole  nor  a  tree  had  been  left  standing  by  the 
sweeping  Artillery  fire.  The  town  of  Bellicourt  was  a  com- 
plete wreck. 

"WITHDRAWAL." 

On  the  night  of  October  1st  and  2nd,  the  Regiment  with- 
drew to  the  location  previously  occupied  by  it  in  the  Tin- 
court  Area,  and  in  compliance  with  orders  on  the  morning 
of  October  2nd,  marched  to  the  Herbecourt  Area  by  the 
route  of  Tincourt-Monrouge-Peronne-Biaches,  and  went  into 


History  of  ugih  Infantry  49 

camp  shortly  after  noon  the  same  day  at  a  place,  formerly 
the  village  of  Biaches,  now  completely  destroyed.  This 
camp  was  on  the  Marne  River  and  only  a  short  distance 
west  of  Peronne. 

The  time  here  was  occupied  principally  by  resting,  and  a 
general  policing  of  the  personnel  in  the  Regiment.  The  men 
enjoyed  these  two  days  of  rest. 

On  October  5th,  the  Regiment  marched  back  to  the 
Tincourt  Area  and  camped  that  night  in  Tincourt  Wood. 
The  following  day  orders  were  received  to  move  up  to  the 
Bellicourt-Hargecourt  Area  and  the  night  of  the  6th  and 
7th  of  October,  was  spent  camped  in  the  trenches  of  the 
Hindenburg  Line,  which  eight  days  previous  were  occupied 
by  the  Germans. 

On  October  7th,  the  march  was  continued  to  the  town 
of  Estrees  where  the  Regiment  halted  for  the  night. 

The  night  or  the  portion  of  night  spent  here  was  marked 
by  a  most  terrific  bombardment  from  the  air.  No  casualties 
in  the  Regiment,  however,  resulted  from  this  attack.  Short- 
ly after  midnight  verbal  orders  were  received  from  the  Com- 
manding General,  60th  Brigade,  by  the  Commanding  Officer 
of  the  Regiment  to  proceed  to  the  vicinity  of  Premont  and 
follow  the  attack  of  the  117th  Infantry  which  would  begin 
at  6:00  a.  m.,  October  8th,  passing  through  or  "leap-frog- 
ging" the  117th  at  the  railroad  fill  immediately  west  of 
Busigny. 

"ATTACK  OF  OCTOBER  8th,  9th,  AND  10th." 

Leaving  Estrees  at  approximately  3:30  a.  m.,  the  Regi- 
ment proceeded  by  marching  to  Premont  and  to  its  position, 
arriving  there  just  as  the  barrage  opened.  Immediately  it 
formed  up  in  the  following  order:  2nd  Battalion  under 
command  of  Capt.  Graham  K.  Hobbs,  with  "C"  and  "E" 
assualting  Companies  and  "G"  and  "H"  the  two  supporting 
Companies  occupied  the  left  Regimental  sector.  The  3rd 
Battalion  under  command  of  Major  William  S.  Privott  and 
in  the  same  formation  with  "K"  and  "M"  Companies  as 
the  assaulting  Companies  and  "I"  and  "L"  Companies 
supporting,    occupied    the    right    Regimental    sector.      The 


50  History  of  ugth  Infantry 

1st  Battalion  under  command  of  Capt.  Robert  J.  Lamb, 
was  in  support  with  Company  "C"  supporting  3rd  Battalion 
and  Company  "D"  supporting  2nd  Battalion.  Companies 
"A"  and  "B"  were  in  reserve.  The  Regiment  joined  the 
25th  British  Division  on  the  left  and  the  120th  Infantry 
Regiment  on  the  right.  Regimental  Headquarters  were 
established  at  Van  le  Prettre  Farm.  In  this  formation  the 
line  advanced  approximately  1,5003^  yards,  on  being  held 
up  here  immediately  west  of  the  woods  east  of  Premont, 
the  119th  Infantry  Regiment  pushed  through  and  continued 
the  advance  to  its  objective  a  short  distance  north-east  of 
the  town  of  Busigny,  capturing  the  town  and  a  large 
quantity  of  material,  including  a  Battery  of  5.9's  and  several 
field  pieces,  also  liberating  1,800  French  civilians  who  had 
been  under  control  of  the  Germans  for  the  four  years  of 
the  war.  Upon  the  entrance  of  the  Americans  into  the 
village  and  before  the  Germans  had  been  driven  entirely 
out,  the  civilians  were  in  the  streets  offering  the  soldiers 
hot  coffee.  They  could  not  be  too  kind  to  their  liberators. 
It  seemed  to  surprise  them  greatly  that  the  troops  occupying 
their  town  then  were  friendly  Americans.  They  thought 
that  the  British  had  freed  them  and  it  was  sometime  before 
they  could  believe  the  truth. 

At  about  4:30  the  same  afternoon  the  Regiment  gained 
all  of  its  objectives  and  immediately  consolidated  its  posi- 
tion. Regimental  Headquarters  moved  from  Van  le  Prettre 
to  Premont.     This  advancement  was  of  6  kilometers. 

The  attack  order  for  the  advance  on  the  morning  of 
October  9th,  was  received  at  Regimental  Headquarters 
about  3:30  a.  m.,  and  transmitted  to  the  Battalion  Com- 
manders and  front  line  troops  by  4:30  a.  m.  A  runner  was 
the  only  means  of  communication  at  this  time.  In  the 
attack  order  the  barrage  was  timed  to  open  at  5:00  o'clock, 
but  later  was  changed  to  begin  at  5:30,  and,  had  it  not  been 
for  the  fact  that  the  attack  orders  were  late  in  arriving  at 
the  front  line,  this  difference  of  30  minutes  might  have 
caused  disastrous  results. 

The  Regiment  in  the  same  formation  as  the  previous 
dav  resumed   the  attack  at   5:30  a.   m.,   October  9th,  with 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  51 

objective  the  Heights  500  yards  east  of  the  LaSalle  River. 
This  objective  was  selected  for  its  tactical  advantage,  as  it 
gave  the  enemy  a  dominating  view  of  the  country  west  of 
the  LaSalle  River,  and  from  information  gained  seemed  to 
be  very  strongly  fortified. 

The  advance  continued  without  meeting  very  strong 
resistance  until  the  town  of  St.  Souplet  on  the  west  bank  of 
the  LaSalle  River  was  reached;  about  3:00  o'clock  that 
afternoon. 

Here  the  enemy  apparently  had  time  to  make  -  some 
preparation  and  to  bring  up  a  few  reserves,  as  the  Heights 
immediately  east  of  the  River  were  well  protected.  Heavy 
Machine  Gun  and  Artillery  fire  was  received  from  the  en- 
tire ridge,  covering  the  Regimental  front.  It  was  practically 
impossible  to  advance  up  this  open  incline  without  the 
sacrifice  of  a  great  number  of  lives.  Repeated  efforts  were 
made  to  cross  the  River,  and  at  a  few  points  were  successful 
but  due  to  the  nature  of  the  terrain  and  the  terrific  Machine 
Gun  fire,  it  was  deemed  necessary  to  dig  in  and  hold  the 
line  along  the  west  bank  of  the  River,  as  a  counter-attack 
was  anticipated,  but  never  materialized.  The  left  flank  of 
the  Regiment  at  this  time  was  connected  with  the  25th 
British  Division  but  the  right  flank  was  exposed  as  the  120th 
Infantry  had  not  kept  up,  causing  the  line  to  bend  back  in 
front  of  several  fortified  Machine  Gun  posts. 

Confronting  these  conditions,  the  line  was  ordered  to 
halt  and  make  good  a  general  line  along  the  west  bank  of  the 
LaSalle  River  and  gain  contact  with  the  120th  Infantry, 
which  was  done  later  that  night.  During  the  day's  opera- 
tion the  Regiment  advanced  to  a  distance  of  4,000  yards 
and  captured  the  towns  of  Escaufort,  St.  Souplet  and  St. 
Benin,  liberating  706  French  civilians.  A  large  number  of 
Machine  Guns  and  several  field  pieces  were  captured  with  a 
large  supply  of  ammunition. 

That  afternoon  about  2 :30  o'clock  Regimental  Head- 
quarters moved  from  Premont  to  Busigny. 

The  night  of  the  9th- 10th  of  October  was  spent  in 
consolidating  the  captured  position  and  to  gain  contact 
with  the  unit  on  the  right  which  had  been  held  up  by  Ma- 


52  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

chine  Gun  fire.  It  was  the  plan  that  as  soon  as  this  con- 
nection had  been  made  an  Artillery  Barrage  was  to  be  laid 
down  on  the  whole  front  thus  enabling  the  entire  line  to 
advance.  The  German  position  could  not  be  taken  without 
this  preliminary  preparation  by  the  Artillery  so  strongly 
was  it  defended. 

On  the  morning  of  October  10th,  since  the  120th  In- 
fantry had  not  come  up  on  the  line,  the  plan  of  the  attack 
was  not  enforced  but  instead  the  Regiment  merely  exploited 
a  short  distance  immediately  forward  of  this  position.  After 
the  hard  fighting  of  the  8th  and  9th,  the  men  were  com- 
pletely worn  out  and  ready  for  a  rest.  However,  their  high 
standard  of  morale  had  never  waned.  On  the  afternoon  of 
the  10th,  orders  were  received  for  the  relief  of  the  Regiment 
by  the  108th  Infantry  Regiment  of  the  27th  American  Divi- 
sion. This  relief,  due  to  the  fact  that  some  of  the  units  of 
the  108th  Infantry  became  separated  from  the  rest  of  the 
organization,  was  not  completed  until  after  daylight  on  the 
morning  of  the  11th  of  October.  The  troops  moving  from 
the  front  line  positions  could  plainly  be  seen  by  the  enemy 
who  immediately  fired  on  them  with  Artillery.  The  Regi- 
ment moved  by  marching  back  to  Premont,  where  it  remain- 
ed until  the  same  afternoon  when  it  marched  to  the  area 
around  Van  le  Prettre  Farm.  Here  it  was  billeted  for  the 
night  of  October  llth-12th.  Due  to  a  mistake,  the 
allotment  of  billeting  area  by  Corps  Headquarters,  the 
Regiment  was  compelled  to  move  to  the  area  surrounding 
Montbrohain,  while  Regimental  Headquarters  was  establish- 
ed in  the  village. 

In  this  area  every  advantage  was  taken  to  rest  the  men 
and  to  let  them  clean  their  clothing  and  equipment.  A 
captured  German  bathhouse  was  utilized  and  every  man 
in  the  Regiment  was  thus  enabled  to  get  a  good  hot  shower 
bath.     The  Regiment  remained  here  for  five  days. 

"ATTACK  OF  OCTOBER  17th,  18th,  AND   19th." 

On  the  afternoon  of  the  16th  of  October,  in  accordance 
with  instructions  the  Regiment  moved  to  the  woods  immed- 
iately   southwest    of    Busigny,    where  it  bivouacked    for    the 


History  of  ngth  Infantry  53 

night  of  the  16- 17th.  Regimental  Headquarters  was  es- 
tablished in  the  village.  Before  daybreak  the  morning  of 
the  17th,  in  accordance  with  battle  instructions,  Head- 
quarters 30th  Division,  the  troops  of  the  Regiment  marched 
to  its  forming  up  area  along  a  general  line,  eastern'  out- 
skirts of  La  Haie  Mennerese  and  bore  on  Vaux  Andigny, 
arriving  there  at  5:00  a.  m.,  zero  hour.  From  this  point, 
the  Regiment  was  to  follow  the  advance  of  the  59th  Brigade 
under  an  Artillery  Barrage,  passing  through  it  at  zero  plus 
six  hours.  The  following  disposition  of  troops  was  made: 
The  1st  Battalion  commanded  by  Capt.  Robert  J.  Lamb 
on  the  left  of  the  Regimental  sector  with  "A"  and  "B" 
Companies  assaulting,  "C"  Company  in  close  support  and 
"D"  Company  in  support.  2nd  Battalion  commanded  by 
Major  Graham  K.  Hobbs  on  the  right  Regimental  sector 
with  "E"  and  "H"  Companies  assaulting,  "H"  Company 
in  close  support  and  "G"  Company  in  support.  The  3rd 
Battalion  commanded  by  Major  John  Hall  Manning,  was 
in  support.  The  Regiment  was  joined  on  the  left  flank  by 
the  120th  Infantry  and  on  the  right  by  the  1st  British  Divi- 
sion of  the  9th  British  Corps.  While  following  up  the  59th 
Brigade,  the  Regiment  passed  through  an  extremely  heavy 
counter  barrage  of  the  enemy. 

At  approximately  11:00  o'clock  in  the  morning,  the 
119th  Infantry  Regiment  took  over  the  line  from  the  117th 
Infantry  as  it  was  held  up  by  Machine  Gun  fire,  and  ad- 
vanced to  a  railroad  cut  2,000  yards  west  of  the  village  of 
Ribeauville.  Here  the  position  was  consolidated  and  the 
men  dug  in  for  the  night.  This  position  was  very  heavily 
shelled  and  quite  a  number  of  casualties  resulted.  The 
command  of  the  sector  officially  passed  from  the  Command- 
ing General,  59th  Brigade,  to  the  Commanding  General,  60th 
Brigade,  at  sundown  the  same  evening.  With  the  passing 
of  the  command  the  59th  Brigade  supported  the  60th  Bri- 
gade in  its  advance. 

Due  to  the  fact  that  the  British  on  the  right  and  the 
120th  on  the  left  had  been  unable  to  keep  up  with  the  ad- 
vance and  gain  connection,  the  attack  on  the  morning  of 
the  18th  inst.,  could  not  be  made.     During  the  entire  morn- 


54  History  of  ngth  Infantry 

ing  harassing  Machine  Gun  fire  was  distributed  over  the 
Regimental  front.  About  11:30  a.  m.,  the  British  by  aid 
of  Artillery  Barrage  succeeded  in  advancing  until  connec- 
tion had  been  established  with  the  119th  Infantry.  At  the 
time  connection  was  made  with  the  British,  the  119th  In- 
fantry attempted  to  advance  on  the  town  of  Ribeauville, 
but  this  advance  was  met  by  such  heavy  Machine  Gun  fire 
that  the  right  Battalion  had  to  fall  back  to  its  original  posi- 
tion. Practically  no  advance  had  been  made  by  this  Regi- 
ment up  to  5:00  o'clock  that  afternoon,  nor  by  the  units  on 
either  flank. 

About  7 :30  o'clock  information  was  received  that  the 
British  on  the  right  had  moved  up  to  the  prolongation  of 
our  front  line,  and  were  continuing  the  advance.  Infor- 
mation was  also  received  that  the  27th  Division  (American) 
had  succeeded  in  pushing  its  line  forward. 

At  8:00  o'clock  that  evening  orders  were  received  from 
Commanding  General,  60th  Brigade,  to  the  effect  that  the 
119th  Infantry  would  advance  immediate. y,  keeping  liaison 
with  units  on  right  and  left.  The  attack  formation  consisted 
principally  of  Combat  Groups  and  Patrols  joined  by  con- 
necting files,  which  pushed  out  and  continued  the  advance 
over  very  rough  country,  assisted  only  by  the  dim  moon- 
light and  compass.  Owing  to  these  conditions,  very  slow 
progress  was  made,  as  it  was  very  hard  to  maintain  con- 
nections. 

Very  little  Machine  Gun  and  Artillery  fire  was  encount- 
ered until  the  line  reached  the  eastern  edge  of  Ribeauville, 
where  shelling  became  heavier,  and  a  great  number  of  Mus- 
tard Gas  shells  were  falling  in  the  area. 

The  line  continued  to  advance  to  the  village  of  Ecaillon, 
which  was  reached  about  1:30  a.  m.,  October  19th.  Orders 
were  received  to  halt  and  secure  connection  with  units  on 
right  and  left,  which  was  done.  That  night  the  town  of 
Ribeauville  was  captured  liberating  one  French  civilian, 
and  at  Ecaillon  five  horses  were  captured  in  a  stable  with 
saddle  equipment  and  harness. 

About  3:30  that  morning  orders  were  received  that  the 
attack   would   resume  at   7:00   o'clock  on   the  entire   Corps 


History  of  ngih  Infantry  55 

front,  and  to  continue  the  advance  as  far  as  possible,  no 
objective  being  given.  The  Regiment  in  practically  the 
same  formation  as  the  previous  day  formed  up  and  ad- 
vanced in  the  general  direction  of  Catillon,  maintaining 
connection  on  its  flanks.  At  8 :30  the  town  of  Mazingheim 
was  captured  by  119th  which  continued  to  advance,  until  it 
had  reached  the  high  ground  east  of  Mazingheim  overlook- 
ing the  Sombre  Canal.  Here  very  stout  Machine  Gun  op- 
position was  met,  and  the  line  held  up  for  awhile.  Sup- 
porting Machine  Guns,  Stokes  Mortars,  and  One  Pounders 
were  sent  up  to  protect  the  front  from  any  counter-attack 
and  did  good  work  in  putting  out  several  enemy  Machine 
Gun  posts.  Practically  no  advance  was  made  beyond  this 
high  ground  that  afternoon,  due  to  the  very  open  country 
and  the  deadly  fire  from  the  German  Machine  Guns. 

Orders  were  received  to  halt  and  make  good  the  line 
held.  The  men  and  officers  were  now,  after  a  period  of  three 
days'  continuous  fighting,  very,  very  tired,  having  advanced 
a  distance  of  practically  five  miles. 

That  night  the  Regiment  was  relieved  by  the 

British  and  the  Regiment  retired  to  the  town  of  St.  Souplet 
where  it  was  billeted  the  night  of  October  19th-20th.  The 
following  morning  the  Regiment  moved  by  marching  to 
Busigny,  and  October  21st  marched  to  joncourt.  The 
march  continued  October  22nd,  and  that  afternoon  the 
Regiment  was  camped  in  small  huts  immediately  west  of 
Tincourt.  October  23rd,  the  entire  Regiment  moved  by 
rail  from  Tincourt  to  Heilly  and  marched  from  there  to 
Contay  Area  near  Amiens,  where  the  units  were  billeted  in 
the  following  towns:  1st  Battalion  at  Contay;  2nd  Battalion 
and  3rd  Battalion  at  Behincourt;  Headquarters  Company  at 
Baolincourt;  Machine  Gun  Company  at  Contay;  Supply 
Company  at  Hahoussoy;  Regimental  Headquarters  at  Esbart 
Chateau.

"REST  AND  TRAINING." 

Upon  the  arrival  of  the  Regiment  in  this  area,  every 
advantage  was  taken  to  give  the  men  a  thorough  rest  and 
also  to  equip  them.  The  depleted  ranks  had  to  be  filled  by 
replacements,  for  the  Regiment  was  in  strength,  a  little 
larger  than  that  of  one  Battalion.  The  Commanding  Officer 
expressing  the  wish  of  all  the  officers  and  men  of  the  Regi- 
ment, exerted  every  effort  to  have  the  old  men  of  the  Regi- 
ment who  had  been  pronounced  ready  for  duty  from  hospi- 
tals, returned  to  the  organization.  As  a  result  of  this  effort 
quite  a  number  of  the  old  men  were  returned  along  with  a 
few  replacements  to  take  the  place  of  those  killed  and  wound- 
ed. After  the  rest  of  a  few  days,  a  training  schedule  was 
inaugurated  preparatory  to  fitting  the  organization  for 
further  fighting.  Quite  a  number  of  maneuvers  were  in- 
cluded in  the  training  schedule  and  the  majority  of  them 
were  carried  out,  assimilating  open  warfare. 

Connected  with  the  training  a  number  of  field,  meets 
were  held,  principally  to  relieve  the  men's  minds  from  the 
battle  front  and  to  create  a  spirit  of  competition  throughout 
the  entire  2nd  American  Corps. 

On  or  about  November  17th,  the  30th  Division  was  re- 
lieved of  further  duty  with  the  British  Expeditionary  Forces 
and  transferred  to  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces.  With 
this  transfer  the  Division  was  moved  from  its  area  near 
Amiens  and  sent  further  south  with  the  Americans.  On 
November  21st,  1918,  this  Regiment  entrained  at  Corbie 
and  moved  by  rail  to  the  LaMans  Area,  detraining  the  fol- 
lowing morning  at  Beaumont  sur  Sarthe.  Regimental 
Headquarters,  Headquarters  Company,  Machine  Gun  Com- 
pany, Supply  Company,  1st  and  3rd  Battalions,  were  bil- 
leted in  the  town,  and  the  2nd  Battalion  was  billeted  in  the 
village  of  Vivian.  This  order  was  later  changed,  since  the 
billeting  space  in  Beaumont  was  entirely  too  crowded,  and 
some  of  the  organizations  were  moved  into  neighboring 
villages. 

Training  schedule  was  inaugurated  here  and  the  Regi- 
ment sustained  its  high  standard  by  attaining  a  high  degree 
of  perfection  in  drill,  ceremonies,  training  and  equipment. 


History  of  HQth  Infantry  57 

The  citizens  of  Beaumont  were  most  cordial  to  the  Amer- 
icans and  exerted  every  effort  towards  their  entertainment. 
The  officers  were  extensively  entertained  in  their  homes. 
At  a  dinner  given  by  the  Mayor  of  the  town,  the  Command- 
ing Officer  of  the  Regiment  was  presented  with  a  "wreath 
of  Laurel"  in  token  of  the  splendid  work  of  the  Regiment 
during  the  fighting. 

While  in  this  area,  a  scheme  of  competition  for  the  en- 
tire 2nd  Corps  was  started.  This  scheme  meant  the  selection 
of  the  best  all  round  Regiment  of  each  Division  which  were 
selected  by  means  of  competitive  drills  and  inspection  to 
determine  the  best  Regiment  of  the  entire  Corps.  The  Corps 
meet  was  never  held  but  this  Regiment  was  selected  by 
General  Lewis  to  represent  the  30th  Division.  General 
J.  J.  Pershing  reviewed  the  Division  while  it  was  located 
in  this  area  and  later  addressed  the  officers,  expressing  his 
appreciation  for  the  work  it  had  done  while  a  member  of 
the  American  Expeditionary  Forces.  A  rating  of  the  units 
of  the  Division  was  made  by  one  of  General  Pershing's 
Staff  Officers  and  shown  to  Colonel  Herr,  Chief  of  Staff, 
30th  Division.  The  119th  Infantry  was  rated  number  one 
in  appearance,  equipment  and  in  marching  in  review. 

"START  FOR  PORT." 

On  February  11,  1919,  pursuant  to  orders,  the  Regiment 
proceeded  by  marching  to  the  Forwarding  Camps,  live 
kilometers  from  LeMans,  where  it  completed  preparation 
before  sailing,  and  on  the  twelfth  and  thirteenth  days  of 
March,  proceeded  to  the  Embarkation  Camp  at  St.  Nazaire, 
arriving  March  13th  and  14th.  The  Regiment  remained  at 
this  camp  for  a  period  of  three  days,  miking  its  final 
preparations  for  embarkation  to  the  United  States  of 
America. 

On  the  16th  day  of  March,  1919,  orders  were  received 
from  Headquarters  Embarkation  Camp,  Base  Sector  No.  1, 
St.  Nazaire,  France,  to  the  effect  that  following  units  of  the 
119th  Infantry  would  embark  at  2:00  p.  m.,  March  17th, 
on  the  U.  S.  S.  "Madawaska". 


58  History  of  ngih  Infantry 

Headquarters,  119th  Infantry,  Headquarters  Company, 
Supply  Company,  and  Ordnance  Detachment,  Machine  Gun 
Company,  1st  Battalion  Headquarters,  Companies  A,  B,  C, 
and  D,  and  Medical  Detachment. 

Following  these  units  on  March  21st,  the  2nd  and  3rd 
Battalion  Headquarters,  and  Companies  E,  F,  G,  H,  I, 
K,  L,  and  M,  embarked  from  St.  Nazaire  on  the  U.  S.  S. 
"Huron." 

The  trip  over  sea  was  very  rough  due  to  heavy  wind  and 
storms,  thus  causing  the  voyage  to  be  several  days  longer 
than  had  been  anticipated. 

The  entire  Regiment  landed  at  Charleston,  S.  C,  on 
April  2nd,  moving  immediately  by  rail  to  Camp  Jackson,  S.  C. 

Here  all  the  men  in  the  Regiment  from  North  Carolina, 
were  mustered  out  of  the  service  between  the  6th  and  10th, 
and  those  from  Tennessee  were  sent  to  Fort  Oglethorpe, 
Ga.,  April  9th,  to  be  mustered  out  there.  The  remaining 
men  in  the  Regiment  from  other  States  were  transferred  as 
Camp  Detachments  and  ordered  to  the  nearest  Demobili- 
zation Camp  to  their  homes  and  discharged.  The  following 
Camp  Detachments  were  sent  from  the  Regiment: 

Camp  Dix,  Dodge  No.  1  and  No.  2,  Gordon,  Grant  No.  1 
and  No.  2,  Lee,  Funston,  Pike,  Sherman,  Taylor  and  Upton. 

Practically  all  officers  took  advantage  of  the  fifteen-day 
leave  in  order  to  avail  themselves  of  an  opportunity  to  secure 
employment  before  being  discharged  from  service. 

Upon  the  completion  of  mustering  out  of  the  119th 
Infantry,  its  Commanding  Officer,  having  applied  for  service 
in  the  Regular  Army,  appeared  before  a  board  consisting  of 
Regular  Army  officers  and  was  recommended  by  said  board. 
He  was  not,  therefore,  mustered  out  with  the  remainder  of 
the  officers. 

While  at  Camp  Jackson,   upon    request    of    the    city    of 
Columbia,      the      Regiment     on  April   5th,    moved   to   that 
city   by  way  of  electric    railway  and   paraded   through   the 
principal  streets,  receiving  a  joyous  welcome  "HOME".

LETTERS  AND  EXTRACTS 


Headquarters  30th  Division. 
American  Expeditionary  Forces. 

March  11,  1919,  France. 

From:        Major-General  E.  M.  Lewis,  Commanding  30th  Div.,  A.  E.  F. 
To:  The  Commanding  Officer,  119th  Infantry. 

Subject:     Service  of  the  119th  Infantry. 

1.  While  I  have  endeavored  to  express  verbally  to  the  officers  my  ap- 
preciation of  their  loyalty  and  service  during  the  operations  of  the  Division, 
I  want  you  to  take  back  with  you  this  further  testimony  of  my  very  great 
appreciation  of  the  splendid  record  of  the  Regiment,  as  a  whole,  in  the  opera- 
tions of  the  30th  Division.  What  has  been  accomplished  by  the  Division  is 
well  known,  and  the  119th  Infantry  has  had  its  full  share  in  the  accomplish- 
ment and  can  look  back  upon  its  experiences  with  nothing  but  pride,  not 
only  by  its  efficiency  in  the  field,  but  also  by. its  excellent  discipline  and  mili- 
tary conduct,  the  119th  has  always  reflected  credit  upon  the  Division. 

2.  May  all  good  things  await  you  as  individuals  in  just  recompense  for 
the  great  service  done  by  you  as  an  organization. 

E.  M.  Lewis, 
Major-General,  U.  S.  A. 


Jefferson  Hotel, 

Columbia,  S.  C,  March  5,  1919. 
Dear  Ajetts: 

I  cannot  finally  sever  our  close  association  during  the  past  year  without 
expressing  to  you  my  appreciation  of  the  splendid  efficiency  of  your  com- 
mand of  the  119th  Infantry,  both  in  battle  and  in  the  trying  period  following 
the  Armistice,  when  it  sustained  its  high  standard  by  attaining  a  high  degree 
of  perfection  in  drill,  ceremonies,  training  and  equipment. 

I  have  never  seen  a  finer  regiment  than  the  119th  Infantry  when  reviewed 
by  General  Pershing.  The  results  attained  were,  in  my  estimation,  due  to 
your  excellent  judgment  concerning  the  selection  of  your  staff  and  to  your 
refusal  to  retain  any  officer,  regardless  of  personal  feeling,  unless  he  delivered 
the  goods.  Also  to  your  happy  faculty  of  inspiring  your  officers  with  real 
affection   and  securing   absolute  team   work. 

The  spirit  of  your  Regiment  was  always  of  the  highest.  Your  cheerful 
attitude  and  spirit    of    enthusiasm  and  co-operation  has  ever  been  a  satis-

faction  to  us  at  Division  Headquarters.     You  may  well  be  proud  of  having 
developed  one  of  the  very  best  Regiments  in  the  A.  E.  F. 
With  very  best  wishes  for  your  success, 

Cordially  yours, 

John  K.  Herr, 
Col.  Chief  of  Staff,  30th  Division.

Paris,  37  Rue  Bassano,  February  12,  1919. 

My  Dear  Colonel: 

I  understand  that  you  are  about  to  return  to  the  United  States  soon  with 
your  Division.  As  you  of  course  know,  I  have  not  had  the  pleasure  of 
serving  with  you  when  you  were  in  actual  command  of  your  Regiment,  beyond 
spending  a  couple  of  days  in  your  camp  just  as  you  were  leaving  in  Decem- 
ber, 1917.  I  did,  however,  have  the  privilege  of  commanding  the  119th 
Infantry  for  several  months  during  your  temporary  absence,  and  I  can 
but  believe  that  the  excellent  spirit  and  morale  which  existed  in  that 
Regiment  was  largely  the  result  of  your  work.  I  have  seen  personally  no 
regiment  formed  during  the  war  where  officers  and  men  gave  a  better  or  more 
loyal  response  under  rather  difficult  conditions  of  training:  Of  the  Regiment's 
work  on  this  side  I  know  only  through  hearsay,  but  comment  that  I  have 
heard  from  outside  the  Regiment  and  Division  has  been  most  favorable. 
Very  sincerely  yours, 

F.  LeJ.  Parker,

the  Division,  and,  in  my  judgment,  one  of  the  best  regiments  in  France."
